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

Now I'm coming to myself

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
    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

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

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
