As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, When I Get Home, LFLP 19

LONGING FOR HOME

I'm only a pilgrim and stranger in this unfriendly world I roam
Serving Him who has called me from darkness and promised a Heavenly home
Oh, but wonderful love I am telling wherever on earth I may be
I'm trying each day to be faithful to the Savior who suffered for me

CHORUS
I'm longing for home, for the sun's going down
I long to go where sweet rest can be found
I'm just about through with this old house of clay
I'm a-leaving this world for Glory someday

Soon my labor on earth will be ended, we'll be leaving this old world far 'way
We'll be leaving this valley of shadow for a land that is better they say
In the Bible we read of a city who's builder is Jesus, we're told
Someday this vale tent will be folded and his wonderful face we'll behold
