Good to Be Home
Jody McBrayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into this holy place
A home that's like no other
Full of mercy, love, and grace
And though its been a long time
I've never felt that far
Cause you were always on my mind
And you are always in my heart
It's so good to be home
Where I know that I belong
Inside this house of love
With a family so strong
And I'm here to to worship
And pour out my offering
In the presence of this love
I'm never alone
It's so good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
So good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
I know I'm always welcome
Into these open arms
When all of us are gathered
To shine a light into the dark
This home is where my heart is
And it's always been that way
'Cause you're forever by my side
And I know i'm here to stay
It's so good to be home
Where I know that I belong
Inside this house of love
With a family so strong
And I'm here to to worship
And pour out my offering
In the presence of this love
I'm never alone
It's so good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
And by faith we believe
And proclaim our deepest love
To give our everything, everything
To a power beyond us
And when it's cold outside
It's always warm right here
Yeah
It's so good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
Oh it's so good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
It's so good to be home
Where I know that I belong
Inside this house of love
With a family so strong
And I am here to to worship
And pour out my offering
In the presence of this love
I'm never alone
It's so good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
So good to be home
(Home, home, home sweet home)
