Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm up against the wall
I can't walk through this life on my own
Holding onto nothing
And searching for more
I don't need anything else in this world
You say that you love me always and forever
Deserve all the love that you show
It's the light that is guiding me home
I feel stronger in Your presence
And safe in your hands
Even though I'm oceans away
I'll take the life you've given me
And I'll live it again
It's grace that defines who I am.
You say that you love me always and forever
You say that you love me and I know I will never
Deserve all the love that you show
It's the light that is guiding me home
I'm finding my way back to your shores
Where there's safety and shelter from the storms
And it's here that you're waiting for me
With another chance to...
Say that you love me always and forever
Say that you love me and I know I will never
Deserve all the love that you show
It's the light that is guiding me home
It's the light that is guiding me home
The lyrics to Kutless's song "Home" embody the struggle and humility of the human condition. The song speaks to the concept of feeling lost and unsure of oneself, but finding comfort and solace in a higher power. The singer of the song recognizes his own limitations and acknowledges that he cannot navigate life on his own. He is "up against the wall" and "searching for more," but finds reassurance in the love of God. The repetition of the phrase "You say that you love me always and forever" serves to underscore the constancy and unwavering nature of God's love, which provides the singer with a sense of grounding and guidance.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the central theme of the importance of God's love in leading the singer home. The lyrics suggest that this love is a guiding light, illuminating the way to safety and salvation. The use of the word "deserve" in the line "I know I will never deserve all the love that you show" highlights the humbling nature of grace, and acknowledges the fact that salvation cannot be earned, but rather must be given freely by God.
