Story behind the song
I originally started this song out to discuss the meaning of baptism. However, as I was working on the lyrics, I realized that I was reacting to the the severe hardships that were going on in my life at the time. Sometimes you just want to give up and go "back home".
Lyrics
Always, I've tried, always to be faithful to your word. Can't say I've always made it. But Lord you know my heart. I let things get in the way and I falter.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wrech like me.
I once was lost but, now I'm found. Was blind but now I see.
Chorus
Take me back home. No rain back home. No pain back home. Take me back home.
Troubled water, here I stand. Wash away all that I used to be. You said the water, washes all my sin. Make me a way home, a way home.
Precious Lord, take my hand. Lead me on, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Thru the storm, thru the night, Lead me on to the light. Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.
Chorus
Take me back home. No rain back home. No pain back home. Take me back home.
Sunshine back home. Good times back home. Your love is back home. Take me back home
Beauty is all you show. The water is all we know. So warm. It's love.
Wash away all my sin. Feeling your love within. So warm. It's love
Leave it in the water. Let it wash away..
