I breathe out and then exhale, what was left of my pride?
Full of myself I have failed. What have I done with my life?
The fog has lifted I can finally see Your face
Through all the hurting, and all the searching I have found my place
Once I was broken, but now I'm mended
Once I was king of my own land, now my reign has ended
I bow my knee to the one who saved me
Once I was dying on my own
But God this wandering soul is coming home
No longer on an empty road, in You my heart has found its rest
The trust I stole I am giving up
So take control I'm not strong enough
Better late than never now until forever, I'm where I belong
Once I was broken, but now I'm mended
Once I was king of my own land, now my reign has ended
I bow my knee to the one who saved me
Once I was dying on my own
But God this wandering soul is coming home
Coming home, coming home
I turned the corner and what did I see?
The father I abandoned running to me
With arms opened wide and love in His eyes
He cried as He said welcome home.
Once I was broken, but now I'm mended
Once I was king of my own land, now my reign has ended
I bow my knee to the one who saved me
Once I was dying on my own
But God this wandering soul is coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
