Intro
A A2 D     A   A2 D     A

Verse 1
A                 A2
 While I was far away
          D    
You were listening 
                  A
Listening for my call
                    A2
In the midst of my mistakes
          D    
You were waiting for me
                   A
Waiting to catch my fall

Pre-chorus
         F#m   E    D
Now I'm coming to myself
      A          C#m
I realize I was wrong 
     F#m     E         D
I confess I need Your help
         A        C#m7
I will arise and go

Chorus 1
          D                   Bm7
I'm going back to the Father, back to the One
    F#m                    A    
Who offers forgiveness for all that I've done 
      D                      Bm7
As He runs to embrace me, He calls me His son
       A    
And I'm home
       D                  Bm7
Going back to the Father, back to the place
      F#m                A    
Where all of my sin and shame is erased 
        D                 Dm7
By His unfailing love and unending grace
       A
And I'm home

Verse 2
A                        A2
 I was stumbling in the dark
           D    
You were whispering
                   A
Whispering to my heart
                      A2
Then You saw me from afar
          D    
You came running to me
              A
Running with open arms

[Chorus 1]

Interlude
D     Bm7 F#m7 A             

Bridge
     D                     Bm7
I am loved by You, You approve of me
    A     Esus 
I am home
        D               Bm7
I have found in You my identity
      A       
I am home

Chorus 2
          D                   Bm7
There's a ring on my hand, a robe on my shoulders
     F#m7                       A    
You called me Your son when I thought it was over
         D     Bm7         F#m7 A    
Now I'm home,     now I'm home
  D                      Bm7
I dance with my family, celebrate with friends
    F#m7                   A    
The son that was lost has come home again
         D     Bm7     F#m7 A    
Now I'm home,    I am home

Ending
D                  Bm7          F#m7  A    
Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling
D             Bm7              F#m7 A    
 Calling for you, calling for me
      D    
Come home
