Calling out of nowhere
Father are You out there
I've been feeling kind of scared
Made me want to say a prayer
So much I don't understand
Is it all part of a plan
Is time still in Your hands
Is the glass running out of sand
I know this world is a gift
But You know how broken it is
Could You come pick us up
'Cause we miss You so much
And our bags are all packed
But then we could just leave 'em
We sure love this place
But now it's getting late
And it looks like the sun's going down
Can we go home now
(Home now, home now, home now)
(Home now, home now, home now)
Can we go home now
You've given me a blessed life
Two kids and the best wife
The kind you want to hold tight
But something doesn't feel right
Can't sleep in my own bed
Find peace in my own head
Keep thinking 'bout what You said
"See you soon, but not yet"
You know the hour and the day
So it's probably not mine to say
Could You come pick us up
'Cause we miss You so much
And our bags are all packed
But then we could just leave 'em
We sure love this place
But now it's getting late
And it looks like the sun's going down
Can we go home now
(Home now, home now, home now)
Can we go home now
(Home now, home now, home now)
Can we go home now
I wonder if I'll miss the sunset
Remember this world or forget
Will I get to sit by Your side
What's it gonna be like
I wanna see my room in Your house
I wanna hear my name from Your mouth
Been waitin' for You my whole life
Could you come pick us up
'Cause we miss You so much
And our bags are all packed
But then we could just leave 'em
We sure love this place
But now it's getting late
And it looks like the sun's going down
Can we go home now
