Mercy Music (Come Home)

Written By: Timothy Brindle

Verse 1-
This song is written for backsliders,
And those who fell of "the road" like bad drivers.
Who think they're too gross for Mercy and so, so unworthy,
And think the Christian walk's a hopeless journey.
Perhaps like me, you try to smother conviction,
By lust or drugs or some other addiction.
Or you deny your disgusting condition,
Or think, to turn back is too much of a mission.
I know how you feel, like, "What's the point of trying?"
So you avoid the I AM, but you know that He's REAL
You're pursuing sin, although it will kill,
And it's ruining you, and No, you won't be fulfilled
He won't disown you, your only hope, He is still
cuz Christ groaned on the hill when He atoned for your guilt.
There His love was shown and revealed
so, "Come, be washed whiter than snow" by the flow that He spilt (Isaiah 1:18)
for all your wrong sin.
The Lord is good and forgiving, abounding in love to all who call upon Him (Psalm 86:5)
however bad your doubts,
He says, "Whoever Comes to ME, I'll never, ever cast you out!" (John 6:37)

If you're God's son or perhaps you're His daughter

and like a lost sheep you so happened to wander

After every lust you could imagine or conjure

After every greed you could fathom or ponder

Passing pleasures look how fast it was squandered

I know you feel like you've been captured and conquered

If you don't trample on His Majesty's Honor

And you know how He has to cast off a scoffer

But recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter

But recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter

Yeah! He already took the wrath and the slaughter

FOR YOU!

So you could come back to the Father

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

Won't you come back to the Father?

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

Yeah! Come back to your Father!

Verse 2-
In quick sand I was stuck from my tangents of lust
Until I seen that the Blood of the Lamb is enough
And if I was oppressed under the guilt of my sin—
then how many other of His children are pinned?
Discouraged and despondent in ramped bondage
In sin's grip like anacondas
Consistency, they just can't accomplish
Wounded on the side lines with a damaged conscience:
Convinced by Satan's roaming legions, that they're only pagan hopeless heathens
"And therefore Jesus won't receive them,
Because they have NO righteousness—No achievement!"
But they're really seeking to make their own appeasement
when in reality, the only pleasing atonement to God is Jesus' groans and bleeding—
So let that be the only hope you're pleading!
And you don't need to first work your way back
And NOPE, you won't please Him with your personal lash
Yeah, it's true, you deserve to be smashed
But Christ already averted the Curse and the Wrath (Galatians 3:13)

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

Won't you come back to the Father?

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

Yeah! Come back to your Father

Verse 3-
If nothing convinces you to come to your senses
but you run from Him I pray your dungeon of sin gets,
so uncomfortable and empty that you run to the Sinless Son who gives abundant forgiveness
'cuz it isn't WHOLE, your "secret heart", it's true
Within your soul—the deepest part of you
I know your spiritual stomach is starving (Isaiah 55:2)
So come back to Christ and He'll abundantly pardon! (Isaiah 55:7)
God put an eternal gap in your heart—so you going after sin is absurdity
'cuz it only leaves you trapped in the dark—so come be filled by Him who IS ETERNITY (Isaiah
57:15)
So peep it homie, though He is holy,
Behold Jesus, Whose so Meek and Lowly (Matt. 11:28-30)
I too am weak—but Yo, He upholds me
Don't trust Christ + Self—NO! Jesus Only!!!
Why return to Christ, I'm sharing some reasons:
Sin is lie—Christ swears His allegiance
Sin our cancer—but He bears our diseases

See infinite grace—come cherish its freeness (Chea!!!)
Receive all the Merits of Jesus,
And on Judgment Day, you'll be there in HIS Clean-ness! (Zechariah 3:1-5)
While you are far off, the Father is chasing,
To receive you in His Arms in His Awesome Embracin' (Luke 15:20)
His Son's robe covers all your mistakes, and
He slaughtered "The Best Calf" on the Cross in your place, kid (Luke 15:22-23)
Admit His law you were breaking
Come as a JACKED-UP SINNER—it's the only qualification (Luke 15:21, 18:13)
I should be the first to witness:
that Christ Jesus came into this world for the worst of sinners! (1st Timothy 1:15)
Say, "While revealing Your Cross to me, Hosea 14:4, HEAL MY APOSTASY!"

If you're God's son or perhaps you're His daughter

and like a lost sheep you so happened to wander

After every lust you could imagine or conjure

After every greed you could fathom or ponder

Passing pleasures look how fast it was squandered

I know you feel like you've been captured and conquered

If you don't trample on His Majesty's Honor

If you know how He has to cast off a scoffer

But recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter

But recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter

Yeah! He already took the wrath and the slaughter

FOR YOU!

So you could come back to the Father

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

So repent for it's the Lord you can trust

COME HOME, come home, COME HOME, come home, COME HOME

Yeah, His mercy is more than enough!
