The Ache That Led Me Home

(Verse 1) I’ve walked this road for years and miles With songs and prayers and quiet trials I gave, I served, I tried to be The man You called, but still not free I searched for love in human eyes In tender words and hopeful signs But what I longed for wasn’t there It was You, waiting in the air (Chorus) Thank You for the ache that led me home For the empty places You made Your own For the gentle voice that called my name When I was chasing hearts in vain Thank You for the love I couldn’t find That found me in Your perfect time I see it now, I feel it true Thank You, Jesus—thank You (Verse 2) I thought I knew what love should be But You were writing a song in me Through every silence, every tear You were whispering, “I’m right here” You didn’t shame me for the chase You met me in my broken place You filled the void I couldn’t name With reckless grace and tender flame (Chorus) Thank You for the ache that led me home For the empty places You made Your own For the gentle voice that called my name When I was chasing hearts in vain Thank You for the love I couldn’t find That found me in Your perfect time I see it now, I feel it true Thank You, Jesus—thank You (Bridge) I’m not too much, I’m not too late You’ve turned my longing into faith You’ve shown me love that doesn’t fade And held me in the mess I made (Chorus) Thank You for the ache that led me home For the empty places You made Your own For the gentle voice that called my name When I was chasing hearts in vain Thank You for the love I couldn’t find That found me in Your perfect time I see it now, I feel it true Thank You, Jesus—thank you Instrumental (Final Chorus) (Thank You for the ache that led me home) (For the empty places You made Your own) (For the gentle voice that called my name) (When I was chasing hearts in vain) (Thank You for the love I couldn’t find) (That found me in Your perfect time) (I see it now, I feel it true) (Thank You, Jesus—thank you) Outro
