Last Time I Was Here

The last time I was here

I can remember standing tall

But looking up to face the door

I can recall each room as large

And not at all that I was small

I was a child, of course

I was a child of yours

Last time I was here

How could I have known

I'd be awakened by the loss of thing I held dear

And that my coming back would mark the fact

I've done the work I'm stronger for

I couldn't ask for more

Stay with me awhile

God of all that's come and gone

You are the faithful Rose of Sharon

You are the morning's final dawn

I need you to pray with me awhile

Let me feel your strength in me

Here in the cradle of my soul

Let me let all else now go

I've gone around the world

To find the precious pearl

Was here all along

Yeah

The last time I was here

I thought I knew the score

I though my world was in my own control

I cursed a lot of things, I blamed my chains

My lack of strength, the simple length of time I've known

Laid here before your throne

Stay with me awhile

God of all that's come and gone

You are the faithful Rose of Sharon

You are the morning's final dawn

I need you to pray with me awhile

Let me feel your strength in me

Here in the cradle of my soul

Let me let all else now go

I've gone around the world

To find the precious pearl

Was here all along

Hey, yeah

Here

Gone around the world

To find the precious pearl

Gone around the world

To find the precious pearl
