Come Home

Come home

I make all things new

Come home

I wait for you



Come home

for here I wait

Arms extended

expecting you

But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. LUKE 15:20

What Kind of Wonder

I see that word
Twice now On the back of a cab As I’m driving around this busy place.
Might have even been a year ago
When I first saw that same cab Maybe he lives near me Or maybe You’re trying to remind me of something
There are two types of wonder
Sometimes you wonder Wonder how it will all work out Wonder if you make the right decisions Focused on the right things Wonder if there is time for this or that

Abide.
In.
Me.
