I
stood there and looked at the old home place As tears streamed from
my eyes what a disgrace I couldn't believe it had fallen into
such disrepair With no one to live there and no one to care They warned me at the store back up the way No one
had lived there since the 'old days' They didn't know it had
been my home years ago And I didn't want to give details and
tell them so Mom and Dad are gone my brothers and sisters too I'm
the only one left and I don't know what to do As I stand and
look at it My mind wanders back to that big ol' table where we
used to sit Dad and Mom would call all of us in To open
God's word and learn about our sin About Jesus Christ who died
on the cross And took our sin so we wouldn't be lost Dad taught us that it was a personal thing That we
needed a relationship with "The King" Down on my knees at the
age of ten I asked Jesus into my heart and He forgave my sin These thoughts are why the tears flood my eyes And
my heart is broken as I cry The saying 'you can't go home again'
comes to mind As I turn to walk away to leave the old house

Scripture: Proverbs 22: 28 Remove not
the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
