Home

Bloggers imagine this...
A small hotel room, a single bed by the window, a 12 year old forced to grow up to quickly, a father thats late home and a cold night, pouring with rain. The rain hits the cold window and slides down, the distance is blurred by the heavy rain, with headphones on its her alone in that small hotel room. Waiting for someone to take her out, take her home, no one comes, no headlights in the distance. She stares out, the song is soft and as the rain falls down the window pane, tears fall down the young innocent face...

"Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms

There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

Chorus:
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong..."

- Chantal Kreviazuk

This is a beautiful song, I had a fairly rough childhood growing up one could say, when we moved into the country for a few years I was homesick and I would play this song to cry to, to just let go and remember home. I still listen to it and cry my heart out but now its not about wanting to go home its about being home, finally I am in the family of God and there is no other place I would rather be. I shared tonight with my boyfriend about the full extent of my past not neccesarily me involved in the wrong things but me surrounded by those things and he was amazed at where God is brought me, looking back I see with him the hand of God drawing me into him, keeping me safe holding me in the palm of his hand. Thankyou God, this song has new meanings I am living my hope.

Blessed be God, my shelter, my strength in whom I am found home.
Over and out
