Verse 1
How faintly I remember Your love song over me
But the further that I wander, the noise is deafening
Now the only thing I feel is how far You are away
This distance now between us is driving me insane
Chorus 1
Father, I miss You
My heart is ready now
To follow the sound, the sound of Your voice
That echoes inside
Father I'm desperate
I lost my way somehow
I'll follow the truth, the truth of Your love
Back into the light
Lead me back home
Verse 2
I traded trust for pleasure and diamonds for fool's gold
I made the world my treasure, but underpriced my soul
Then a whisper through the numbness, a melody of hope
That love song I remember is leading me back home
Bridge
But I never reach the gate
Before You come running to me
All the words I've rehearsed for days
Just fall at Your feet
No, I never reach the gate
Before You come running to me
All the years I threw away
In one embrace are redeemed
Chorus 2
Father I've missed You
My heart is overwhelmed
Here in Your arms, is where I belong
Forever at home
Father, I love You
Nothing could take Your place
You were the first and You'll be the last
Love of my soul
Lead me back home
