Back to the Father (Live) Lyrics by Covenant Worship

Sand and Stars

2017

[Verse 1]
While I was far away
You were listening
Listening for my call
In the midst of my mistakes
You were waiting for me
Waiting to catch my fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm coming to my self
I realize, I was wrong
I confess I need Your help
I will arise and go...
[Chorus 1]
I'm going back to the Father, back to the One
Who offers forgiveness, for all that I've done
As He runs to embrace me, He calls me His son
And I'm home
[Verse 2]
I was stumbling in the dark
You were whispering
Whispering to my heart
Then You saw me from afar
You came running for me
Running with open arms
[Chorus 2]
So I'm going back to the Father, back to the One
Who offers forgiveness, for all that I've done
As He runs to embrace me, He calls me His son
And I'm home
I'm going back to the Father, back to the place
Where all of my sin, and shame is erased
By His unfailing love, and unending grace
And I'm home
O-o-ohh... I am home
[Bridge 1]
I am loved by You
You approve of me
I am home
I have found in You
My identity
I am home
I am loved by You
You approve of me
I am home
I have found in You
My identity
I am home
O God, I am loved by You
You approve of me
I am home
I have found in You
My identity
And I am home
O Lord, I am loved by You
You approve of me
I am home
And I have found in You
My identity
I am home
[Bridge 2]
There's a ring on my hand
A robe on my shoulders​
You called me Your son
When I thought it was over
Now I'm home
Now I'm home
I dance with my family
Celebrate with friends
The son that was lost
Has come home again
Now I'm home
I am home, Jesus
[Outro]
Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
He's calling for you
Calling for me
Come home...
