I want to share a song that touches my heart every time I hear it. The lyrics are listed first and then you can click on the black screen below them to hear part of it (click white arrow twice). The song is called "Welcome Home" and is written and performed by Shaun Groves. You can purchase the song for $1.00 here: Song Touch. The words mirror my life on so many days.
Welcome Home - Words and Music by Shaun Groves Welcome to this heart of mine I've buried under prideful vines Grown to hide the mess I've made Inside of me, come decorate, Lord
Open up the creaking door And walk upon the dusty floor Scrape away the guilty stains Until no sin or shame remain
Spread Your love upon the walls And occupy the empty halls Until the man I am has faded No more doors are barricaded
Chorus: Come inside this Heart of mine it's Not my own Make it home Come and take this Heart and make it All Your own Welcome home
Take a seat, pull up a chair Forgive me for the disrepair And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling Gathered on my search for meaning Every closet's filled with clutter Messes yet to be discovered I'm overwhelmed, I understand I can't make this place all that You can
(Chorus)
I took the space that You placed in me Redecorated in shades of greed And I made sure every door stayed locked Every window blocked, and still You knocked
(Chorus)
Take me, make me All You want me to be That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking
Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm enjoying reading yours--especially the 'boy" quotes. How familiar--they sound like my little homeschooled hero. These lyrics are powerful, thanks for sharing.
We are a homeschooling family raising 4 boys in Virginia. This blog is mostly about anything relevant to raising boys or homeschooling in general - but every once in a while I can't help but add some nonsense from our daily life.
