Long way home
K's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know where I am called
I know where I am going
Although I can't always see it
It's only good You're doing
Like a son to a father
I watch what You do
You call to each one of us
Come, I've prepared a home for you
Some people don't hear the call
Some people don't know they're lost
Some don't know of Your love
How You sacrificed for us
Some people don't hear the call
Some people don't know they're lost
And that's why
I can't come home yet
I've people to reach yet
You've sent me here to do that
And that's why
I'm taking the long way home
I'm taking the long way home
I will reach to them
Like You reach to me
Heavens gates are open wide
And there's no place I'd rather be
But I can't be selfish
Your promise is true
And it's time I shared that
With people so they know You too
Some people don't hear the call
Some people don't know they're lost
Some don't know of Your love
How You sacrificed for us
Some people don't hear the call
Some people don't know they're lost
And that's why
I can't come home yet
I've people to reach yet
You've sent me here to do that
And that's why
I'm taking the long way home
I'm taking the long way home
Give me the strength
Give me the wisdom
Give me the words
And the patience to love them
Pull on their minds
Tug on their hearts
Show them the way
And I'll play my part
Give me the strength
Give me the wisdom
Give me the words
And the patience to love them
Pull on their minds
Tug on their hearts
Show them the way
And I'll play my part
Here I am, Lord, send me
Here I am, Lord, send me
Here I am, Lord, send me
Here I am, Lord
And I'll play my part
I will follow the call to seek out the lost
And that's why
I can't come home yet
I've people to reach yet
You've sent me here to do that
And that's why I can't come home yet
I've people to reach yet
You've sent me here to do that
And that's why
I'm taking the long way home
I'm taking the long way home




I'm taking the long way home
We'll see You when we get home
