Your unrelenting love for us, Your children,
Leads us past the cares and fears we face
Till all that we desire is to find refuge
In loving arms that give eternal grace.
Those of us who wander far from home
Still seek something we cannot define.
Your Spirit draws us though we do not now
That You, our Father, cannot but be kind.
So, restlessly we cry out for a mercy
Beyond all that our minds can understand
Until one day we wake from unknown slumber
To recognize the offer from Your hand.
You lift us from the depths of our own darkness
Bringing us into eternal light.
You give us strength when we are at our weakest
To choose Your grace and will to do what’s right.
O Holy God, we come on bended knee,
Acknowledging the gift of Your own Son,
Who laid His life down with eternal love
To raise us up again and bring us home.
