The Road Back Home...

I Will Rise

I have traveled the road of my desire
My heart deceived and yet my heart the liar
And hopelessly it cries
That I can reach no higher
Still I must face one more refining fire
I will arise and go to my Father
I will arise

I have spent far enough to know my debt
Has bought the things that now I can't forget
But yesterday is gone
And I refuse to let
The past imprison me to my regret
I will arise and go to my Father
I will arise

I will arise in the strength my God supplies
Surrender all
Confronting all the lies
I realize and now despise
My compromise

Lord, the road back to home is seems so long
I can't return unless you make me strong
For now I clearly see
The journey was all wrong
Now I desire to be
Where I belong
I will arise and go to my Father
I will arise

I will arise and go to my Father
And I will say
Father I have sinned!
And am no more worthy to be called thy Son
Make me a servant in Thine eyes
I will arise
