Don't really know why, but I wanted to post the lyrics to this song--my second favorite piece of contemporary Christian music. You can click here to actually listen to it (scroll down to the bottom of the page it takes you to). I swear it brings tears to my eyes when I hear the words sung. Boy, does it hit home with me. I think it's beautiful.
Shaun Groves - Welcome Home
From the album Invitation To Eavesdrop
Take me, make me all You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking
Welcome to this heart of mine
I've buried under prideful vines
Grown to hide the mess I've made
Inside of me, come decorate, Lord
Open up the creaking door
And walk upon the dusty floor
Scrape away the guilty stains
Until so sin or shame remain
Spread Your love upon the walls
And occupy the empty halls
Until the man I am has faded
No more doors are barricaded
chorus:
Come inside this heart of mine it's
Not my own make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own Welcome Home
Take a seat, pull up a chair
Forgive me for the disrepair
And the souvenirs from
Floor to ceiling
Gathered on my search for meaning
Every closet's filled with clutter
Messes yet to be discovered
I'm overwhelmed, I understand
I can't make this place all
That You can
(chorus)
I took the space that
You placed in me
Redecorated in shades of greed
And I made sure every
Door stayed locked
Every window blocked, and
Still You Knocked
Take me, make me all You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking
