Disclaimer: I dont own the words to welcome home( the song) its sung by shaun groves.
CH2Teal'c and Tim followed closely behind the others.
"So you heard the end?"
"Indeed."
"What'd you think, think you'd consider comming sometime?" He paused as the ventured down the flight of steps, then added.
"You'd be the oldest person there, but you're welcome to join us."
"I do not understand."
"Understand what?I asked if you can come to..."
"No I do not understand about who God is."
"You read the Bible?" He asked curiously.
"Yes I've read it."
"What is it you don't understand?" By this time they were trailing through the large kitchen space.
"How is it that you can presume to know someone so well, and think that they love you so much when he is not visable to
us." Teal'c asked.
"Well, you have to have faith. Believe in your hear. Know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is God. He died for you."
Teal'c looked at him with the raise of one eye brow, only this time it seemed to be a look of inwardly frustration, not of inquirement.
"That is what it said in the Bible. It said that he sacraficed His life for us, he forgives us, and He loves us." The others had
already began to get their positions situated with their instraments as Teal'c and Tim entered the basement level.
"He does and He did. He died on the cross and was crucified for you, me, for all of us. His love is unconditional, never ending."
Tim walked over to his guitar and picked it up, placing the strap around his shoulder; then he continued. "He's still alive today.
He's waiting buddy." He added.
"Waiting?"
"For everyone to accept him. To make him their Lord. He's waiting for the lost to find Him."
"But why?"
"Because of one simple word, LOVE, he loves all of us."
As the music began, Teal'cs thoughts trailed off, he had become unaware of the conversation that had been at hand or still was.How could love someone love him so much to be willing to give up their life? To accept him the way he was, to come....is that all he had to do? Just come? Could there really be someone who'd forgive him for all his past mistakes? He still couldn't forgive himself, the word of the song they caught his attention.
Tim:
Take me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking.......
Welcome to this heart of mine
I've buried under prideful vines
Grown to hide the mess I've made
Inside of me Come decorate Lord
Jeb:
Open up the creaking door
And walk upon the dusty floor
Scrape away the guilty stains
Until no sin or shame remain
Spread Your love upon the walls
And occupy the empty halls
Until the man I am has faded
No more doors are barricaded
Tim and Jeb:
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own
Welcome home
Tim:
Take a seat, pull up a chair
Forgive me for the disrepair
Jeb:
And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling
Gathered on my search for meaning
Every closet's filled with clutter
Tim:
Messes yet to be discovered
I'm overwhelmed, I understand
I can't make this place all that You can
repeat chorus
Tim:
I took the space that You placed in me
Redecorated in shades of greed
And I made sure every door stayed locked
Every window blocked, and still You knocked
repeat chorus
Tim:
Take me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking...................
