Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Some people need to go find the far country
Some people need to drink from the well
Oh some people need to touch their scarred bodies
Oh some people need to get lost to find out
How spacious is the love of God?
No place I've been where He is not
From Heaven's heights to hell below
I've found no place, where He won't go
To bring back the lost kids
To bring us home
He wants the lost kids
To bring us home
Where are the lost kids?
Where did they go?
He wants the lost kids
To bring us home
Well the nights they get dark out there in the far country
When you're searching for something to give you some peace
Well the pieces I found out there now they just haunt me
I guess some people have to go dark just to see
How spacious is the love of God?
No place I've been where He is not
From Heaven's heights to hell below
I've found no place, where He won't go
To bring back the lost kids
To bring us home
He wants the lost kids
To bring us home
(Thank God, thank God)
Where are the lost kids?
Where did they go?
He wants the lost kids
To bring us home
To bring us home
Oh, to bring us home
