Home

I got some new CD's yesterday, which is just great! It's wonderful to have some fresh music, something different, and great lyrics to think through!

One of the CD's though, that I got was the soundtrack to Prince Caspian. I saw the movie soon after I returned here, and the last scene.....well, it went straight to the heart! The Pevensie children, thoroughly enjoying life in Narnia, suddenly returning home to war torn London, and that feeling of shock as you suddenly return to somewhere so normal and familiar, yet sooo removed from where you have just been..

The music though, that was played at the time was really special though, and listening to the lyrics, realised how much they resonated with me,but especially in light of heaven. That is my home, no matter where I am here, or what I am doing, or feeling...

So, 'This is Home', by Switchfoot.


I’ve got my memories
Always inside of me
But I can’t go back
Back to how it was
I believe you now
I’ve come too far
No I can’t go back
Back to how it was

Created for a place I’ve never known

Chorus
This is home
Now I’m finally back to where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching for a place of my own
Now I’ve found it
Maybe this is home
This is home

Believe over misery
I’ve seen the enemy
And I won’t go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide it’s not over yet
We are miracle and we’re not along

Chorus

And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I’m gonna call it home
I’ve got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I’m gonna call it home

Chorus

Now I know
Yeah, this is home

I’ve come too far
And I won’t go back
Yeah this is home.
