_ Just _
[G#] _ _ as I _ am, _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ has _ _ broken _ _ _ _ every [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
barrier,
thou _ _ _ _ _ to _ _ _ me _ _ thine [D] and [F#] _ _
thine alone.
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ What brings together a group [G#] of people from diverse backgrounds to a lodge in the mountains
and makes them feel free to talk about something as personal as their relationship with God?
[C#] _ And what impassions a couple like Billy and Ruth Graham to spend their entire lives telling others across the world
that they can know God too, really know Him for themselves?
What causes George Beverly Shea or Cliff Barrows to sing [G#] their hearts out,
[G] to put music into the souls of someone who might not have a song?
[C#] Why does [G#] it matter to them? _
[C#] Think about it this way.
_ [A] When you're lost or lonely, [C#]
far from family and feeling like the bottom has dropped out of life,
the best thing to do is go home.
But what if you left home a long time ago,
and now you feel your place at the table has surely been removed by now,
and the [F#] vacancy you left has long since been filled?
What if you're too embarrassed or too [C#] proud to take the risk of showing up now in a place where you used to belong?
[F#] _ [C#] _ [G#] Now let's think about the family.
No matter how many children are home, the truth is,
no one could ever fill the [C#] empty place at the family's heart, left by one who is away.
_ And just maybe tonight, the father is so lonely for you, he can hardly stand it.
He wants you to [G#] know, son, that no matter where you've been,
and daughter, no matter how much foreign ground you've covered,
he will never really rest [C#] at night until [G#] everybody's home.
_ [F#] So what you've experienced here on the mountain is [C#] the family,
gathered in a circle, taking hands, _ connecting with the father,
connecting with each other, drawing strength and [F#] acceptance and encouragement and joy.
_ But they're hesitant to start the dance until you're in your place.
The circle is incomplete [C#] without you.
So they tell family stories, they sing the well-loved songs, and they wait.
[G#] _ They just keep feeling that if they wait a bit longer, you'll come too.
_ [C#] Don't worry about fixing up.
This is a come-as-you-are party.
But the gift they hope to exchange is you. _ _ _ _ _
