Steve Baney © 2005
Riff: G G/F# G/E C2 (2x)

v1:   G             C                  Em7               Dsus   D
I ran from you into blindness, You pur-sued me with your kindness
        G               C                Em7             Dsus   D
You are faithful to the faithless, I was broken you were gracious

pre-ch1:      C2                         G
     Bring me back to the place, Where I live in your grace
           Am7                   Dsus   D
     How I long for your hand to find me
            C2                      G
     I’m so lost in my life, When I stray from your light
            Am7                      Dsus   D
     And my sin keeps me here in its binding

ch1:    C      G           Am7    Dsus
Call me home------ Call me home------
        C           Dsus             G (Riff)
Call me back to the place where I be-long

v2    G              C                 Em7                  Dsus D
I was aimless, I was restless, Full of darkness, Deep in my soul
         G              C                     Em7             Dsus D
You came to me, Offered friendship, Called me family, made me whole

pre-ch2:    C2                         G
     But is my heart of stone the best place for you home?
              Am7                      Dsus D
     It seems such a small place for a king
             C2                    G
     You are welcome inside, I sur-render my life
            Am7                         Dsus D
     All my hopes, all my dreams, every-thing

ch2:    C      G           Am7    Dsus
Call me home------ Call me home------
        C              Dsus                G (Riff)
Make my heart into the place where you be-long

Out: [Riff]
     Oh my Jesus, Oh my Jesus
     Oh my Jesus won’t you call me home [repeat and build]

     Turn my heart into the place, Where your never-ending grace
     Cleanses me in every way, Come and fill me---

Hear It
If you haven't already, be sure to listen to the music.

Tips for playing the song
The pre-chorus is intended to be quieter than the verse. The tag out is the biggest part of the song.

About the lyrics
This song is a play on words. The first time through, I'm asking God to beckon me back home, to invite me to live with him, to draw me into intimacy. But the second time, the meaning changes. Then I'm asking God to identify me as his home, inviting him to live within me. I want Christ to be at home in my heart.

Using This Song
If you'd like to use this song for personal or group worship, go for it. I wrote it as a expression of worship to our Lord. Please let me know if you decide to use this song. It will be a great encouragement to me!
