Come Home
Luminate Lyrics

You're best friends with the word regret
You tend to constantly dwell on past mistakes and feel burdened by regret.

You're afraid that your life's been wasted
You worry that you haven't accomplished enough and that time is running out.

So why hope if it's only gonna let you down
You don't want to get your hopes up and then be disappointed when things don't work out.

You don't think people really change
You don't believe that individuals have the capacity to change themselves for the better.

That you're a mess and you'll always be the same
You have a negative self-image and believe that you will never be able to overcome your flaws.

And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around
You have little faith in your ability to improve your circumstances and make positive changes in your life.

It's never too late
Despite the previous pessimistic statements, there is still time for you to turn your life around.

You can't outrun grace
No matter how much you try to run from your problems or mistakes, you cannot escape the act of receiving mercy and forgiveness.

No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
Irrespective of the nature or severity of your sins, grace can still offer you a fresh start towards a brighter future.

So come home (Oh oh, oh oh)
You are being invited to return to your spiritual home and to leave behind the desolate state that you may currently be in.

You can try to fix your broken empire
Although your life may be currently in a state of disrepair, you can attempt to rebuild and improve upon what is broken in your life.

And put bricks on a cracked foundation
You can invest in rebuilding the internal structure of your life even if the very foundation upon which it is built is flawed.

But you'd be building castles on the sand
Despite your efforts to rebuild, your accomplishments may still not be substantial or long-lasting enough to truly provide you with the security and stability you seek.

There's power in the blood of Jesus
Through Jesus Christ and his sacrifice, there is an immense amount of transformative power available to those who seek it.

Your father's screaming just come home
Your Heavenly Father is calling out to you, imploring you to return home to a place of love and acceptance.

He's reaching out his hands
God is ready and willing to offer you the help and guidance you need to turn your life around and to start anew.

From the shadows, from the wrong roads
Regardless of how lost or astray you may feel, there is always a way back towards the light, and away from the dark paths that you may have previously traveled down.

From the darkness, from the unknown
No matter how bleak or uncertain things may seem, there is always the opportunity for redemption and rebirth that awaits you.

To redemption, something beautiful
Through redemption, there is the possibility for the emergence of something truly nourishing and wonderful in your life.

To a new love, to a new home
Through accepting the love and mercy of others, you can create a new sense of belonging and community in your life.
