Ready to Go Home

                                  On the street below these walls

Where I used to walk

Now I can barely crawl

All this darkness rising tall

Lord shine a light for me

I'm waiting to be called 



I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive

Forgiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin 



Take this river to the sea

Where the Delta flows

The tide is washing over me

Guide this soul to Heaven's door

Show me where tomorrow lies

I'm waiting to be born 



I'm ready to lay down

I'm ready now to sleep

A promise I must keep

I'm ready to go home 



So tired I lay down

With these memories

Breathe shallow deep inside of me

If time has run its course with me

Then 



I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive

Forgiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin 



When the evening shadows fall

When the time has come

I'll let defenses fall

To surrender's to survive

I will give up everything

To those I leave behind 



I'm ready to go home

I'm ready to receive

Forgiveness for my sins

I'm ready to begin 



I'm ready to lay down

I'm ready now to sleep

A promise I must keep

I'm ready to go home

Again
