Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to come back home, y'all
Come on, come on, come on
For God I'm a slave
To get to Heaven
Reverend said I gotta be saved
And behave
Words can't express what I feel inside of my flesh
Every breath is giving Him glory until my death (I feel blessed)
'Cause everyday I'm seeing Him work (I feel blessed)
I don't wanna do no more dirt (I feel blessed)
'Cause the path I was on was wrong (I feel blessed)
It's time to come home
It doesn't matter where you been
Or what you did wrong
It doesn't matter who you are
You're always welcome
It only matters that your heart believes
And you confess
If you committed any sin you'll be forgiven
Calling on all of God's children (time to come home)
If you wanna be delivered (time to come home)
I've been rescued by the Savior (time to come home)
If you wanna be in His favor (time to come home)
Come on home
Come on, come on home
Ooh yeah yeah
Come on home
If you can't see your way out
And you're drowning in your regrets
If you have everything you want
But you still can't find happiness
'Cause when you feel like you're forsaken
Life can be so hopeless
Maybe you need to come home
So your life can be cleansed
God's children (time to come home)
If you wanna be delivered (time to come home)
I've been rescued by the Savior (time to come home)
If you wanna be, you need to be (time to come home)
Gonna be
Oh, don't bare the burden all by yourself (by yourself)
The Redeemer's here, He's gonna give you help (give you help)
Come unto Him and He will give you rest
For any heart that's heavy laden
Soul salvation, ooh
Calling on God's children (time to come home)
If you wanna be delivered (time to come home)
I've been rescued by the Savior (time to come home)
If you wanna be in His favor (time to come home)
(My home) my home
My, my, my, my, my (Your home)
In His everlasting arms (everlasting arms)
My home (my home), Your home (Your home)
In His everlasting arms
Oh, don't you know it's time to come home
Time to come home (time to come home)
Time to come home, deliver me
(Time to come home)
Way too long
I've been rescued by the Savior (time to come home)
Don't you wanna be in His favor (time to come home)
My home, Your home
In His everlasting arms
My home, Your home (everlasting love, everlasting love)
In His everlasting arms (if you wanna be in God's favor)
My home, Your home
In His everlasting arms
My home, Your home (everlasting arms, ooh)
In His everlasting arms
