Looking For Home

 Good Lord, I wait now

     with Your open Word

       and a seeking heart, 

         seeking no things, 

           only wanting You

more now than before. 

Lost it seems I've been, 

     always wandering

       to distant places, 

         constantly alone, 

           ever wondering 

if You look for me.

Forgiveness it says

     is mine now to know,

       but what if I ask

        and You turn Your head

          away and say "No."

Still, good Lord, I ask.

 

Just remember me,

    O Lord, I now pray.

      At the gate, tell me

       what I long to hear

         so that I will know

You welcome me home.
