Lead Him Home
Have you ever just really wanted to save someone? I've known my precious friend for almost 9 years now. He fell away from our God during this time. Ever since I've been eagerly trying to find a way to save him, only to realize time and time again I can't make him get saved. I can't save him. There's so many things I really want to "save" him from......eternal separation from God being number one. I've cried myself to sleep many times after my futile attempts. I'm thankful that I'm not alone and there is Someone who has been knocking on his heart for a long time. All I can do is be an example.....make him want what's in me and let the grace of God lead him home....

I just wrote this song as I was thinking about him, how much I long for him to share my faith again. How much I want him to come home. This song is for everyone who loves him........or for those who have someone like this in their life.


Lead Him Home

Did You hear my cries last night
Sometimes it seems like I want to fight
If he would just hear me
And believe me
Then he'd finally find his home in You
And You would wash him up and make him new

But I can't force him to newness of life
I can't force him to the truth
I can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
I can't drag him by his feet and lead him home

God please hear my prayer today
Please help me find the right words to say
And then help me listen
Really listen
And help me to really be open too
So that my true love may lead him to You

Cause I can't force him to newness of life
I can't force him to the truth
I can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
I can't drag him by his feet and lead him home

But I can...

Be a light in his dark world
I can shine out the hope I have in my Jesus
I can make him crave the contentment I've come to find
In the one who satisfies the insatiable
And heals the brokenhearted

Yes, maybe then...

He will freely run
Freely run into His Daddy's arms
Freely run and find the One
Who will say "welcome home son"
I have been eagerly waiting for you

And he will say...

It is You that I want
It is You that I love
I'm sorry for the path I took that lead me away
But thank You for not giving up
And for once again calling me, Your son

You can't force him to newness of life
You can't force him to the truth
You can't force him to accept the One who who can save him
You can't drag him by his feet and lead him home

Be a light and let God's love lead him home
