Look down, Lord

This time I'm comin' home

Comin' home to a life I know I can live

Escapin' what I can't control
.

Look down, sweet Jesus,

Hold me now,

Protect me against what I cannot escape

Love me when all others have lost hope

And save me from the comin' fight
.

Free me, Lord, take me

I need to come and walk with Thee

Let me live where I can be my own

And not a slave to these mortal fears
.

There's so much sorrow 'round this time,

Look down, Lord, look down and see

Been hard times,

And harsh words

And I need Your strength to pull through
.

Sweet Jesus, Lord

Won't you take me now

I'm drained from the battles,

And weary of fightin' off shadows

Won't you hold me, Lord,

And show me mercy
.

I've been wand'rin far, and trav'lin long

And I'm takin' a journey to the ends of the Earth

I won't come back, for my time has come,

Please, Lord, let me come home
