I Will Bring You Home

Michael Card has a powerful song in his collection called "I Will Bring You Home." Never had this song effected me so much as when I was able to visit the town of Greensburg here in Kansas. For those of you who don't know, Greensburg was hit by an F5 tornado just before the Summer started that had a base that was over 2 miles wide at one point. I drove through the town with Toby (my boss) and was able to see the horror of what all these people lost. As soon as I started driving through the streets I began singing this song in my head:

"Though you are homeless

Though you're alone

I will be your home.

Whatevers the matter

Whatevers been done,

I will be your home.

I will be your home

I will be your home

In this fearful fallen place,

I will be your home.

When time reaches fullness,

When I move my hand

I will bring you home

Home to your own place,

In a beautiful land

I will bring you home.

I will bring you home

I will bring you home

From this fearful fallen place,

I will bring you home

I will bring you home."

What an incredible God we have. We can ask ourselves for all time why bad things like this tragedy happen and spend our time blaming God for its happening. Or, we can see that God truly cares for us as a mother cares for her child and wishes to be our home. Even though our earthly homes may fall apart or blow away, our true home awaits us with open arms.
