The 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
