Great Song Lyrics 1

I love this song not only for it's lyrical beauty and simplicity but it just soothes me when I hear it. It makes me think about how blessed I am and that no matter what I go through, Love is always there waiting for me. I think Fred Hammond is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. Hope this inspires you today.

When Love Calls You Home
1997, Matters of the Heart
Lyrics by Fred Hammond, Performed by Commissioned

Waiting on the edge of your prodigal heart
Wanting for someone to save you from yourself
Out there on the edge dangling somewhere in the darkness
Doubting if anybody really cares
But when Love reached through the shadows
Whispering your name
And nothing will ever be the same again

Chorus: For when Love calls you home
Forgiveness embraces the past you once owned
And all the mistakes that carried your name are gone
Cause that's what happens when Love calls you home

Cradled in Your mercy that has no limit
I've finally found a place where I belong
Now I can't imagine one moment without you in it
It's hard to believe I tried to make it on my own
But You picked me up from the ruins of my broken life
And when every chance was spent, You gave me one more try

'Cause when Love calls you home
Forgiveness embraces the past you once owned
And all the mistakes that carried your name are gone
Cause that's what happens when Love calls you home...
