"Oh heart of mine, why must you stray...?"

We sang this song the other day and it hit me hard - I have strayed from my Heavenly Father in the past few weeks. Why do I do it again and again? I don't know, but I'm thankful that God forgives me and takes me back into His arms again. "Lord, I'm coming home!"

Come Home Running

Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From one so fair you’ve run away
And one more time you had to pay
The heaviness of needless shame

Oh heart of mine, come back home
You’ve been away too long out on your own
And He’s been there all along
Watching for you down the road

Chorus:
So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus
He understands
He is the answer
You are looking for
So come home running
Just as you are

Oh child of God so dearly loved
And ransomed by the Savior’s blood
And called by name, daughter and son
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness
