HOME
Come riding on a rushing wind
Blow through our hair and touch our skin
I want to feel you now like I felt you then
Strip away my calloused heart
Set your arrow hit your mark
Bring me back to where love starts
Bring me back to where you are
Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong
I know you’ve heard this all before
When I’m down and crying on the floor
Saying I want you and nothing more
But I’m breaking in my heart tonight
I’ve tried to stand I’ve tried to fight
But cannot see without your light
No cannot breathe without you
Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong
When I saw you I was ashamed
You were pure and I was stained
But you ran to me and you called my name
There were tears of joy upon your face
Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong

Thank you for the bible lesson. What a beautiful story- we can learn something new from it each and every time we hear it. Thank you Phil.
Phil, this song is so amazing. It is my favorite song of yours, and of all time!!! It really spoke to me because it is just like my story with Christ. It reminds me of my favorite verse, Romans 8:38-39. It is a great reminder that He will ALWAYS love us…No matter what we do! Thanks for the incredible music, and keep it up!! You are truely a blessing and an inspiration to me. I can’t wait to see you in Gulf Breeze, FL in June!!!
Phil this is just for you since this post is old and no reads the comment here much anymore (:
Love the album.
Actually at THIS VERY moment I’m listening to this song and it’s spectacular.
And I find it funny how the words ‘cuz’ and ‘cannot’ are in the same sentence. It’s like you’re expecting either ‘because’ and ‘cannot’ or ‘cuz’ and ‘can’t’. Hehe I’m unusual.
Phil please won’t you leave me a comment on my blog and make me happy?
Phil,
I am so glad that you have allowed the Lord to work through your life. These lyrics are so true and from the heart. I pray that the Lord touches many people through these lyrics. So many people need a honest and true relationship with christ. Keep allowing the Lord to do amazing things through your life.
God Bless,
Justine
Phil,
Our Lord is going to use this new album to work in mighty ways to people of all kinds. I cant even explain how much you bless those that hear your music. I know the angels in heaven will be singing and i imagine that they will sound somthing like you. keep up the awsome work through Christ our Lord.
Bro in Christ,

Shaun, Brody, Raquel and Brittnie – you guys made my day. That story was hilariously funny. For moment there, I thought the story would turn into a Chronicles of Narnia theme after Raquel’s mention of the “magical door” in Phil’s closet (lol).
HAHA! You are toooo funny! God bless you all!
hey raquel..i loved the ending…maybe we should tell phil to sell the wigs now he’s asking for merchandise ideas… keep up the great work phil, we all love u xx

Girl jeans are on sale… that’s my favorite1!!
One thing I realized I must do is read all the above comments to figure out what’s going on here!
On another note…
wow.
I am simply amazed by those lyrics. They hit home (no pun intended) for me… You are truly blessed!!
God bless!
Thanks for playing this last night. (Yeah , I’m the one who shouted for it). The music was as good as the lyrics and definetely brought a tear to this eye! Thanks for all the worship music you allow God to give through you. Keep going in the love of the Lord! I’ll pray strength and wisdom for you. God Bless!
Phil,I would like to say that if even if you are all alone, God will be there for you.
Hey Phil, it was interesting that the one you said about the prodigal son, it inspires me that when my parents were kept moving and moving.We were packing our stuff and get out of here to move somewhere else and to me it really hurts.So read this when you get a chance,ok?
Hey Phil,
I like this song a whole lot! Sounds like your new CD is going to be fantabulous. I am gonna come see you in San Francisco in October, hopefully you sing this song. The prodigal son had to come to his senses. How crazy is it that so many people fall away from God and never come to their senses that He longs for us to return to Him. Even some people come back to church, but they never come to their senses that Jesus wants to restore them, but they live in the shadow of their annointing, but they never enter into the place where they were annointed. -Queenie
Phil,
I am so excited about your new CD! I think the picture on the front is stunning (I don’t know if that’s the final cover or not, but I love it). I’ll keep you in my prayers as you put the finishing touches on the project! ~Micah 6:8~
Hehe. Did you know? The day you posted this was on my birthday. The lyrics kinda fit where I was in life at that time. And sorta still am.
You’re pretty awesome, didja know that?
O my gosh… you guys are all too crazy! I bet Phil had an extreme amount of fun reading what you guys wrote!
somewhere in the middle of his endless quest to count his vnecks and wig extravaganzas Phil stumbled upon an all you can eat frozen banana cart!
