This song always brings me back to being in Africa and wrestling with life as I came home and tried to figure out who I was.
That time spent figuring out who I was led me to walk away from Jesus.
So much of me wishes and would go back in time to avoid that season of not living for Jesus.
Yet that season made Jesus come alive.
Now, two and a bit years after I came back to Jesus (or I should truly say - He grace carried me back home), and four years since this song played non-stop in my ears, I know - THIS is home.
This place where I live for Jesus, where I attempt in my feeble and incapable way to live out His love - this is home.
This is Home - by Switchfoot
I've got my memories
Always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe you now
I've come too far
No I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
Always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe you now
I've come too far
No I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
And now
after all
My searching
After all
My searching
After all
my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back
Yeah, this is home
