Way too long since I posted! But I finished up the Ash wednesday one, and now one for today. Sang at church today. "Be Thou My Vision" (Rudder version) and "Coming Home".
Be Thou MyVision has long been a favorite of mine. :) So it was really cool to sing a new (to me) version of it. But this morning...Coming Home really hit home.
The lyrics (minus all the coming homes we sing between them.)
I've wandered far away from God now I'm coming home
The path of sin too long I've trod Lord I'm coming home
Coming home coming home never more to roam
Open wide Thy arms of love Lord I'm coming home
I've wasted many precious years now I'm coming home
I now repent with bitter tears Lord I'm coming home
Odd, but I've never really liked songs/scriptures that talk of heaven as home. Home has never been a peaceful place. Home to me has always been....stressful at best and chaotic and unsupportive at worst. :( So I usually prefer other kinds of songs. But somehow...today... this song just hit me. And for once, home didn't make me think of home. Somehow, home was....more of a fellowship of believers. :) My church. All of us.
And this song...with it's emphisis on repentance and returning to God...was just what I needed. It is where I am.
