Come Home - a music podcast

A music podcast featuring a new recording of "Come Home", a song by Gord Johnson written for use in our liturgy, and now released here in a very different version.

“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.” - St. Augustine, from The Confessions.

“I cannot claim that I have found the home I long for every day of my life, not by a long shot, but I believe that in my heart I have found, and have maybe always known, the way that leads to it. The home we long for and belong to is finally where Christ is. I believe that home is Christ’s kingdom, which exists both within us and among us as we wend our prodigal ways through the world in search of it.” - Frederick Buechner, The Longing for Home.

Come Home

Our souls find rest in God alone                                      
We pine, we strive, we run, we roam                              
And ‘neath the stray the deeper tone                                            
Our inmost longing to find home                                    
Come home, come home, come home

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy

Our restless heart’s true resting place                                 
Is not the realm of wood and stone                                 
But in the Holy One whose grace                                   
Both now and always calls us home                                
Come home, come home, come home

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy

From dust we came, and so return                                   
And in this span of mortal time                                       
Christ truly never leaves our side                                    
Except in our forgetting minds                                          
Come home, come home, come home

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy
Come home, come home, come home…
