Child Of My Heart Come Home

**Verse 1
Patient and kind, He is waiting in silence,
Watching for you and for me.
There at the threshold, He offers His presence,
Waiting for us to see.

**The Chorus
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
"Child of my heart, come home."

**​Verse 2
Why do we linger when shadows are falling?
Why do we drift far away?
Mercy is deeper than all of our stalling,
Welcoming us home today.

**The Chorus
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
"Child of my heart, come home."

**​Verse 3
Time is a vapor that fades in a moment,
Morning will soon turn to night.
Trade all your sorrow for healing and comfort,
Step out of dark into light.

**​The Chorus
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
"Child of my heart, come home."

**Verse 4
Think of the love that was promised in the pages,
Love that was given for you.
Open your heart to the hope of the ages,
Simple, and steady, and true.

**The Chorus
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
"Child of my heart, come home."

**The Chorus
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
"Child of my heart, come home."
