The North Carolina-based band, which is comprised of Marshal Huffman (vocals and guitar), Dylan McLain (drums) and Donovan Roybal (guitar), will be offering fans that kind of lifeline again with the songs on Echoes. Recorded with Josiah Prince, the project is full of songs like the title track “Echoes,” which captures the kind of turbulent moment that Relentless Flood is committed to speaking into. “It is written from the perspective of someone who is in a deep place of despair, feeling like everything is falling apart around them,” lead singer Marshal explains. “It’s a message that no matter where you are, you’re never too far gone. There’s a loving God who hears every
echo of your broken heart.”
Come Home
Relentless Flood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do you wrestle with your life?
Don't you see that I'm reaching out to you?
Why won't you understand?
I've given all I have to give Won't you turn and take my hand?
I paid your price
Just come home, my arms are open wide It's love you can't deny You will never be alone When you come home
I can see those scars haunting you Don't you know there's scars that I bear too?
Come home, my arms are open wide It's love you can't deny You will never be alone When you come home
Emmanuel, the Great I Am Holy, Holy is the Lamb You paid the price, and gave me life, Now and forever
Just come home, my arms are open wide It's love you can't deny You will never be alone When you come home Come Home
The lyrics to Relentless Flood's song Come Home speak about a longing for someone to return to their true home, which is in the loving embrace of God. The lyrics ask the listener why they run, why they hide, and why they wrestle with their own life when they have someone who is reaching out to them. The song also reveals that the singer has given everything they have to give to the listener and all they want is for the listener to turn and take their hand so that they can come home to God.
The lyrics continue to explain that the singer can see the scars haunting the listener, but they want the listener to know that they have scars as well. It then reinforces the message that God is the way, the truth, and the life, and He is the risen One. The song reassures the listener that they are never too far gone to come home to God, and that once they do, they will never be alone again.
In summary, Come Home is a beautiful song that conveys the message of God's unconditional love and His desire for us to come home to Him. The lyrics are filled with tenderness, compassion, and hope, as they urge the listener to return to their true home in God's loving embrace.

in 2021 this song has helped me so much through a very dark time in my walk with God. thank you Lord for using these men and their music to speak to my heart
@Justcallmekayable
Very deep message of forgiveness when someone has betrayed us the most in a marriage. Just like God forgave us the same way as he say in Hosea.

First time hearing. Now, more than ever, we need more bands like this that have a CLEAR CUT CHRISTIAN MESSAGE. Not these bands that are too scared. Shout out to you guys.
@MindPetrol
You'd love their new song 'The Decree'
@zchamp

@MindPetrol
Cool that lyrically, its actually a worship song, not just a Christian rock song. Hard to find these. That said, my favorite off the new album is 'My Chaos'
@zchamp
