Home

I've been stained by this world

Haunted and oppressed

Run after empty passions

Left only with regrets

I've tried my Tower of Babel

Full of self and pride

Made my plans - etched them in stone

Only to watch them die

I've climbed the hightest mountain

Only to fall off the steepest cliff

Fought my greatest foe

Left feeling beaten and whipped

I've cried my lake of tears

And sung the mourning dove's song

I've tried everything and given up

Why has it taken this long?

Yet again I've strayed

But He's brought me back to Him

He wept while watching me struggle

Refusing to give in

I don't understand love like this

It's the farthest thing from my own

Like a father bearing his children's blows

Such mercy and grace unknown

In spite of these battles I incessantly lose

My gaze is fixed firmly ahead

And even though my failures exceed my successes

I know that soon to my home I'll be lead
