Home Away from Home

(a song, written by Tabitha Scott)

Home Away From Home

The tears that I refuse to cry
And constantly keep locked inside
Have rendered my soul into an ocean
The same sob story of my life
And all my self-obsessing strife
Leave me foundering around without a notion
Of all the things I should become
Or the destiny provided from
The God Above who holds my world in motion

They say home is where the heart is
And there you should be safe
But I don’t feel I’ve started
Trusting in Your Grace
Oh, they say home is where your heart is
And there you should be safe
But homes and hearts discarded
Tonight long for Your embrace

Lord, I seek freedom from depression
Break through my vain obsession
With searching for a man to give me love
I should know without a question
That You are my possession
And greater is not here but up above
Oh, destroy all this aggression
And discourteous suppression
Of all these wicked things I bottle up.

They say home is where the heart is
And there you should be safe
But I don’t feel I’ve started
Trusting in Your Grace
Oh, they say home is where your heart is
And there you should be safe
But homes and hearts discarded
Tonight long for Your embrace!

Bridge:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms

They say home is where the heart is
And there you should be safe
But I don’t feel I’ve started
Trusting in Your Grace
Oh, they say home is where your heart is
And there you should be safe
But homes and hearts discarded
Tonight long for Your embrace!
