[Verse 1]
Sun comes up on the bayou road
Dust on my boots and a heart too slow
Mama said, child, don’t carry that load
Lay it down where the river goes
[Verse 2]
Pecan trees in the heavy air
Old tin roof and a folding chair
I been lost, but I’m right here now
With a bent-knee prayer and a lifted brow
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I feel that mercy rolling in
Like water on my skin
Oh, I hear that heaven on the wind
And I’m letting go again
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
(amen)
Hold me up again
Amen, amen
(amen)
Wash me clean within
South wind blow
Let my troubles go
Amen, amen
I’m coming home
[Verse 3]
Friday night and the juke joint hum
But I found my peace where the saints come from
Back porch light and a screen door song
I been weak, but I kept on strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I feel that mercy rolling in
Like water on my skin
Oh, I hear that heaven on the wind
And I’m letting go again
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
(amen)
Hold me up again
Amen, amen
(amen)
Wash me clean within
South wind blow
Let my troubles go
Amen, amen
I’m coming home
[Bridge]
If the devil comes round, let him find me kneeling
If the tears come down, let them keep on healing
From the pine woods out to the river bend
I was bound for grace, and I still am
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
(amen)
Hold me up again
Amen, amen
(amen)
Wash me clean within
South wind blow
Let my troubles go
Amen, amen
I’m coming home
[Outro]
Home, home
I’m coming home
Amen, amen
I’m coming home [Verse 1]
Sun comes up on the bayou road
Dust on my boots and a heart too slow
Mama said, child, don’t carry that load
Lay it down where the river goes
[Verse 2]
Pecan trees in the heavy air
Old tin roof and a folding chair
I been lost, but I’m right here now
With a bent-knee prayer and a lifted brow
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I feel that mercy rolling in
Like water on my skin
Oh, I hear that heaven on the wind
And I’m letting go again
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
(amen)
Hold me up again
Amen, amen
(amen)
Wash me clean within
South wind blow
Let my troubles go
Amen, amen
I’m coming home
[Verse 3]

Home, home
