Home Enough (for Now) [from "Home Enough for Now"]

I looked out on the valley from the cross
Vantage point for everything I've lost
My family has extended
Sunday morn' we're singing out
This body breathes, there's land to plow

I guess that this is home enough for now

I feel content alone here in my car
But wonder if someone could share this heart
Perhaps You know and see her
It's already planned out
A present-written future vow

I guess that this is home enough for now

And some days I don't mind it if You stay
Up there till we're grafted into place
But days like these, my Jesus, I confess
I'd take the knife to feel the tension less
To never be alone or be at rest

From this strange earth
I'm a stranger

But here atop this quiet ridge, I see
Far enough to know You're good to me
Go on and make me desolate
Till You're all I'm not without

Oh God, did I pray that out loud?

I guess that this is home enough for now
