Lyrics
You Are My Home.
VERSE ONE:
In the evening, when it’s said and done
I look back on the good things that He has done
Now, every morning I’ve gotta thank the LORD
For the joy that He has brought into my heart
I’ve got no reason not to thank the LORD
He was there for me when moms and pops were never there
I’ve got no reason not to thank You, LORD
You were there for me, when the whole world turned itself against me.
CHORUS:
Your dwelling place is my home
LORD, You are my home
All these façades shall all pass
LORD, take me home. (2x)
VERSE TWO:
Even when the sun sets, when I’m old and grey
I’ll dance into Your house like David did
Even when the sun sets, when I’m old and grey
I’ll sing unto You, LORD, like David did
Now that I’m young, I’m here to thank You LORD
Take my heart and make it Yours, it’s for You alone
I’m living for Your Glory, I’ve gotta thank You, LORD
For Your love knows no bounds, it’ll last forever.
