Lyrics
Verse 1
For the first time in a long time
I know I'm finally at peace
'Cause when I lay here in Your presence
I can take a breath and see
Chorus
That there's more You have for me
Than I could find on my own
And when I run out of will to run
You'll light my way back home
Post-Chorus
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Verse 2
In the morning or the evening
I feel Your presence over me
And I rest on the assurance
Knowing You've set me free
Chorus
That when waters rise and skies get dark
Your hand is there to hold
And when I run out of will to run
You'll light my way back home

So now I live to tell the story
Of all the times You rescued me
When all was lost and I was drowning
You were there to calm the sea
Chorus
From highest heights to lowest steps
You still call me Your own
When I run out of will to run
You'll light my way back home

Meaning & Inspiration
Home presents God’s presence as a place of rest, direction, and renewed freedom. The opening moves from weariness to peace, with the singer finding room to breathe while resting in God. The image of a lighted path home gives the chorus its central sense of promise: when personal strength fails, God remains a faithful guide.
The later verses extend that assurance through dark skies, rising waters, and the memory of rescue. The sea imagery may recall biblical accounts of God’s authority over danger, while the line about being set free carries a simple confession of grace. The bridge responds to that rescue with witness, turning past help into a story that can be told. Throughout, home functions less as a physical destination than as a picture of belonging with God.
