Longing for Home
Unknown
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." John 14:1-4.First heard by Kenneth W. Osbeck, sung by a quartet from Tennessee Temple University at The Wilds, located in Western North Carolina.
Heaven's a place where I long to be
To dwell with the ransomed eternally;
And, LORD, I have loved ones who have gone on before,
And they're waiting to see me when I enter Heaven's door!
Home, LORD, I'm longing for Home!
Home where from You I'll never, never roam!
Home, LORD, I'm longing for Home!
Heaven's my Home, and I'm longing for Home!
Someday I'll see the crown that I'll wear,
And the beautiful mansions that wait for me up there!
Streets of gold, gates of pearl that You've prepared for me;
But, LORD, it's Your dear face, that I long most to see!
Home, LORD, I'm longing for Home!
Home where from You I'll never, never roam!
Home, LORD, I'm longing for Home!
Heaven's my Home, and I'm longing for Home!
