Come On Home

Bible in the dash Sunday shoes stayed in the closet Heart stayed tied up to my past Mama kept the porch light burning Saying, “Baby, God still knows your name” I heard that hymn across the cornfields Calling me back the way I came

Come on home, come on home There’s a place at the table, you’re never alone Every scar, every tear you’ve sown Grace gonna meet you, child, come on home Come on home, come on home He’s been standing in the driveway all along Arms spread wide like an open door Come on home, come on home

I’ve been sitting in the last pew Hiding in a borrowed coat Trying not to hear the choir Singing words I used to know Then that old, old story found me In a cracked and trembling voice “I once was lost and tired” they started I stood up shaking, had no choice

Come on home, come on home There’s a place at the table, you’re never alone Every scar, every tear you’ve sown Grace gonna meet you, child, come on home Come on home, come on home (oh yes) He’s been standing in the driveway all along Arms spread wide like an open door Come on home, come ion 'home

ll meet you father at the altar I’ll meet you father some day soon I’ll meet you father at the altar I’ll meet you father some day soon

Come on home
