In 2004, 2-time Top 5 Nominee for Female Vocalist of the Year (CCMA), Christian artist Jeanie Kay Truesdale, recorded two of my songs, tracks 1 and 9 on her CD, "I Know Him", available nationwide at Wal-Mart and Family Christian Bookstores.

I write mostly contemporary Christian, praise & worship, some A/C ballads, positive country, Christian country, and southern gospel. I have several songs published in Nashville and Atlanta, as well as my own publishing company, Becky Wright Songs (ASCAP). I also write songs for TV/film, and provided the instrumental music for an international award-winning video produced by Northeastern State University (Tahlequah, OK) and the Chamber of Commerce. I have several contemporary Christmas songs, wedding songs (several in high demand), and perform/minister at churches, Christian conferences (for women, singles, pastors, youth, etc.).

Story behind the song
While my cousin was serving in Iraq, my own 18-year-old son's relationship with me was very strained. As I prayed for them both, I also thought of all my close friends who's husbands, brothers, fathers, sons are serving overseas, or "far away" in other ways. This was my (and their) encouragement to keep "praying them home".
Lyrics
Vs. 1: You know there’s no denying the commitment of my love Even though times are trying, I won’t give up. And though right now you seem so far away, You’re always on my mind, especially when I pray: Refrain: Come home, no matter where you are And I will hold you in my heart, when I can’t hold you in my arms. I’ll lift you before the Father’s throne And pray that His love and mine… will bring you safely home. Vs. 2: Many waters cannot quench the love I have for you; Through mountains or desert heat, I will be true. And if home is where the heart is, where we find joy and peace, Then my home is with Jesus, but I want you there with me. [REFRAIN] Bridge: Come home, come home; Ye who are weary, come home! [REFRAIN] I pray that His love and mine….. will bring you safely home.
