Someone's standing by the open door,
I can see a crystal river,so I must be near forever,
Lord,i've never been this homesick before.

(Chours)
Can't you see the bright lights shine?
It's just about home time,
And I can see my Father standing at the door,
This world's been a wilderness,
And i'm ready for deliverance,
And Lord i've never been this homesick before.

I can see the family gathering,
Sweet faces their all familar,
But no one's old or feeble anymore,
Oh this lonesome heart is crying,
I think i'll spread my wings for flying,
Cause i've never been this homesick before.

(repeat chours twice)

And Lord i've never been this homesick before
