Homesick

Sometimes the hardest part isn't leaving
It's admitting that what you left Him for
Could never love you the same
Tired of running

I packed my pride and left Your grace
Chased all the lights, lost in the haze
Tried to fill a God-shaped space with broken things I can't replace
I know it's on me, but I thought I could do it all alone
There's so much noise
The louder the world, the lonelier I got
The deeper the drink, the more that I forgot
Forgot who I was
Who I was and where I belong
Calling out with this song

I'm Homesick
I'm Homesick
I'm Homesick, I'm Homesick
I was wrong
'Cause I should've never left You
For the arms that hold me when I'm a mess
I'm exhausted
Tired of running, tired of all the lies (Today)
I gotta make a decision
And it's not an easy one
With tears in my eyes
I don't belong out here

I'm Homesick, I'm Homesick
And I wanna come back Home (God)
Back to where I belong
It's time
I just need the cure

When I ran out of options
You still ran after me
Freedom felt like chains (Yeah)
But Your grace removed all the shame
Now that I've come back to You
You didn't make me feel like I didn't belong
You didn't look at at me different

You threw a party like I never left once (Yeah)
Cleaned me up like a new fresh pair of Air Force 1's
I created this distance
I am the prodigal son
But God
You welcome me with open arms
You didn't hide my scars
You nurture all of my scars
When I'm Home, I feel whole, I
Know I cannot live without You

I'm Homesick (Homesick)
I'm Homesick, I'm Homesick
'Cause I should've never left You
For the arms that hold me when I'm a mess
I'm tired of chasing what's been breaking me, uh
Tired of running, tired of all the lies
Right now
I gotta make a decision
And it's not an easy one
With tears in my eyes
I've been everywhere but where I should be

I'm Homesick, I'm Homesick
And I wanna come back Home
Back to where I belong
I'm ready
I just need the cure

I need You to see me
I need You to see me (It's urgent)
It's urgent (God)
I just need You to take me back (Yeah)
I just need You to take me back
'Cause I'm bleeding and hurting
See me
See me, it's urgent
Yeah, I just need You
I just need You to take me back
It don't feel the same
I just need You to take me back
Because right now
'Cause I'm bleeding and hurting

You didn't just take me back, You took me in
I'm Home now
I'm Home now
I'm free now
Grace erased it
Past is gone now
The same love I ran from is what rescued me
You didn't have to take me back
And I'm Home
I'm Home now
Feels good to be free
I'm free now
My past is gone
Past is gone now
Your love healed what the world tried to break
You didn't have to take me back
God, You didn't

You didn't have to take me back
Your Grace
You didn't have to take me back
I ran to You, Father
You didn't have to take me back
You didn't turn me away
You didn't have to take me back
You welcomed me in
