Take Me Home
Mitch Mitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Often I feel so far away
And though dreams and wheels move me on
I pray my heart will always stay
Well within the sound of His voice of love
And my doubts come now and then
But peace has come forever more
And when I feel my faith is wearin' thin
And gives me strength to stand, when I think I can't
That's why He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me
So I hope I take my words to heart
The tongue has a way of movin' with ease
My thoughts are tangled up like a ball of yarn
I'm just hopin' to believe
So the truth my mind knows, will touch my soul
Yeah, He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me
Yes, now the one and only thing
I want to want is His love
And all I want to need is my Lord Jesus
I'm gonna sing my song out loud
Complete with all the mistakes
And though I'm far from holy now
I can still sing His praise
Yeah, He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me
Yeah, He is the only thing I want to see
That's why I pray, I pray His love takes
A hold of me, Lord take hold of me

Sometimes I feel at home
Occasionally I experience a sense of belonging
Often I feel so far away
Most of the time I feel isolated and disconnected
And though dreams and wheels move me on
Despite the constant changes and progress in my life
I pray my heart will always stay
I hope to maintain a strong spiritual core
Well within the sound of His voice of love
Deeply rooted in the unconditional love of God
And my doubts come now and then
I occasionally experience uncertainty and hesitation
But peace has come forever more
But an enduring sense of peace has settled within me
And when I feel my faith is wearin' thin
And in moments of doubt and weakened faith
He picks me up from the floor
God provides me with the strength and support I need to keep going
And gives me strength to stand, when I think I can't
And equips me with the inner strength required to persevere, even when I feel powerless

So the truth my mind knows, will touch my soul
So that the intellectual knowledge I have accumulated will be translated into a spiritual experience
Yes, now the one and only thing
Indeed, the single most important thing
I want to want is His love

Regardless of any errors or imperfections I possess
And though I'm far from holy now
And despite my many flaws and shortcomings
I can still sing His praise
I can and will continue to express reverence and appreciation for God
