From the recording LEAD US HOME
LEAD US HOME. This song reminds us of the parable on the prodigal son from Luke 15: 11-20, and from the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3: 8. It also reflects the life of all Christians, who often need the Lord to lead us back to the right path after we have gone astray.
Lyrics
REFRAIN:
Wherever we may roam, O Lord, lead us home.
Left to wander on our own, often lost and alone.
Lead us home, O Lord, lead us home.
VERSE 1:
Where the wind blows,
Where it comes or where it goes, no-one knows.
So like souls who seem to live and die without caring why,
Where they begin and where they end
Come and go like the wind.
VERSE 2:
Where the rain pours,
Where it falls on land or sea, is unsure.
So like storms are souls who drift along dark and lonely shores,
Where all the doubts and disbeliefs
Rise and fall like the rain.
VERSE 3:
Where the sun shines,
Where it warms and where it glows, heaven knows.
So like souls who follow love and light till the end of time,
Where all are one in life with God
Warms and shines like the sun.
