I teach and learn the lessons You have set before me Lord
Helping those in need, in need of You Lord
Spreading Your love until the day is over, over and done my Lord
For when my time is over on this earthly plane, You’ll call upon me Lord
For when the bond is broken, broken in two my Lord
I’ll be home again, home to You my Lord
You’ll free my soul for the journey, the journey home to You
I’ll kneel at Your gateway, my head held low
The river within flowing upon your steps
Trembling with the thoughts that You may not accept me
Shivering from the cold reality that I am not good enough
Fearing that the gate may not open as I knock upon it
Sorrow for not being able to finish all my tasks
Longing for Your presence
Knowing You are there for me but I must leave the earthly plane behind
The safety of the temporary home I had known
I stand true before You my Lord
The nakedness of my sins exposed
The truth free for You to see and bless with Your forgiveness
I need not say a word for You have seen my journey
You know the wounds I have endured
I am battered and bruised from those who refused to carry out Your lessons
From those who were filled with jealous, greed and anger
From those who saw me as weak for carrying out Your lessons
When You are near me I feel the tingling of Your warmth flow through my spirit
Now all is worth it when I feel Your forgiveness in the essence of Your presence
My face warms as my drenched eyes struggle to see
To my wondrous delight I see the glory of You Lord
Words can not express the feeling You deliver and the beauty you behold
The fullness of Your spirit overcomes all
The instant knowing all is right within
The open embrace of Your presence draws me near to You
Your protection and guidance have lead me home to You
There I find my home waiting, waiting there with You
The pain of leaving loved ones replaced with the comfort in knowing they will also come
When their work is over and their time on earth has come
We will reunite in the presence of You Lord
And so my journey will continue, continue with the Lord
I will set out to carry out Your word, Your word my Lord
For when the bond is broken, broken in two my Lord
I’ll be home to you.
