This isn't a "gospel" song, but it would be a great one if you have youth services, and works well acoustically.
If you've never heard it, go here:

Anyhow, I'm doing this at a solo acoustic gig Friday, and figured I'd post the chords for y'all.
It's really pretty simple, but it moves me, and I thought I'd share.
It's played in standard tuning, capo in the 4th fret. Actual key of B, you'll be playing in G, physically.
Little into lick:
/ and \ = slide; p=pull off

Intro: Am7 C
G Am7
I used to have a home.
C G F
A place I started from. A place to call my own
Am7
But bright lights and late nights, the devil took me on a midnight ride.
C
Left me out in the desert on my own.
Am7 D Dsus2
Now I feel alone
Am7 D C
I need a hand to help me find my way back home.
G Am7
I'm a drifter out on a dead end road trying to find my way back home
F C G F
to get to you Oh to get to you
G Am7
Lord I've been gone for far too long, headed to places I don't belong
F C G
and I've got to get back home to you.
(same as verse 1)
Sometimes I think about the past; the road that I was on, the one that lead me home
I'll walk on another day I may wander but I'll never stray,
cause I found out the hard way sin don't pay.
(same as chorus 1)
Now I feel alone, I need a hand to help me
find my way back home
I'm a drifter out on a dead end road, trying to find my way back home
to get to you Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long, headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you
Bridge
Em7 D C G D (the D's a quick passing chord...)
and when I feel the night is closing in
Em7 D C G D
and I can barely breathe the air
Em7 D C G
I just remember that I've got a friend
Am7
who really cares
C D
Oh who really cares
