Going Home

“I’m going home”. Those words I’ve loved. 

I thank you, Lord, you gave me love 

of family, of friends, who cared, 

who’ve made my life and all I’ve shared. 

Like Nazareth, our homes are blessed 

when you are there in love and trust. 

“I’m going home”. Since I was small 

my heart has echoed to that call. 

 

I’m going home. How sweet the thought 

from places far, where life I’d sought, 

that I would see, just for a while, 

the ones I loved, their tears and smiles. 

So was it, Lord, in Galilee 

you must have longed your own to see. 

In going home we touch the years 

that we have shared in loving prayers. 

 

I’m coming home, to you, my Lord, 

my life complete; you gave your word 

that I would share with those I loved 

your heavenly joy and peace and love. 

You said farewell, and knew the pain 

of longing to be home again. 

I’m coming home, to be with you 

and all, in love eternal, true.
