The last time I was here I can remember standing tall But looking up to face the door I can recall each room as large And not at all that I was small I was a child, of course I was a child of yours Last time I was here How could I have known I'd be awakened by the loss of thing I held dear And that my coming back would mark the fact I've done the work I'm stronger for I couldn't ask for more Stay with me awhile God of all that's come and gone You are the faithful Rose of Sharon You are the morning's final dawn I need you to pray with me awhile Let me feel your strength in me Here in the cradle of my soul Let me let all else now go I've gone around the world To find the precious pearl Was here all along Yeah The last time I was here I thought I knew the score I though my world was in my own control I cursed a lot of things, I blamed my chains My lack of strength, the simple length of time I've known Laid here before your throne Stay with me awhile God of all that's come and gone You are the faithful Rose of Sharon You are the morning's final dawn I need you to pray with me awhile Let me feel your strength in me Here in the cradle of my soul Let me let all else now go I've gone around the world To find the precious pearl Was here all along Hey, yeah Here Gone around the world To find the precious pearl Gone around the world To find the precious pearl
