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."
