Song Lyrics 

REPENTANCE
(Can I Please Come Home?)                         words ©1997,John A.Poe,Jr.    • (v.1 & 3) I wish that I could go back in time, Start over again this hard, lonely climb. I threw them away, the long wasted years; Now nothing is left but sorrow and tears; And I wish that I had followed the Lord Instead of the lie of earthly reward; I fled from your way, I wandered and roamed; I’m so sorry, Lord, can I please come home?  • (v.2 & 3) I heard You calling, And I felt so ashamed that I hid from Your voice; Do You still love me? Is it too late to come back to You? Is it too late to be made brand-new? Don’t turn away Lord; I need You like a tree needs the sun and the rain; Father, forgive me; I’m so sorry, Lord,  can I please come home?  • (after vs. 3) I’m so sorry, Lord, won’t you make me whole? I’m so sorry, sweet Jesus, please save my soul. • • (Note: the music for this song is adapted from a tune written by the legendary Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell.) • HEAR THIS SONG -- in RealAudio format • •
