1. For many years I have wondered throughout this day
I've have seen so much heartache on every hand;
And I just think of all the times I could not make it on my own;
I heard him say, Son you're soon coming home."

Chorus

I can almost see the light of the city.
And I seen signs, that I have I never seen before.
I see the saints that have a home,
I see them gathering around the throne.
I hear him say, "Child, you're soon coming home".

2. When I'm crossing over Jordan at the end of the day,
I have seen my dear Saviour, When I, I hear Him say,
"Have no fear, because I'm with you, take My hand, you're not alone";
I heard Him say "Child, you're soon coming home".

I can almost see the light of the city.
And I seen signs, that I have I never seen before.
I see the saints that have a home,
I see them gathering around the throne.
I hear him say, "Child, you're soon coming home".

Michael Reid version

can someone tell me how to find a video or audio for this song.. i looked it up under The Perry Sisters and nothing comes up.. My aunt used to sing this song in church and my uncle plays by ear and heard it and could play it- but she cant remember who sings it either..

I was looking for this song Praise the Lord! Thank you!

I've seen so much heartache on every hand;
But then I think of all the times I Could not make it on my own;
He said, "Look up, Child, you're soon coming home."

And I see sights like I've never seen before.

I'll know my dear Saviour, When I hear Him say,

I CAN ALMOST SEE THE LIGHTS OF HOME
by Belinda Johnson

John tells of a city that he saw coming down
Where no sorrow, pain or death will be known;
And some day we can go there, through His marvellous grace;
I can almost see the lights of home.

Oh, I can almost see the lights of that city,
I can see them gathered all around the great white throne;
Through faith in my Saviour and His wonderful love,
I can almost see the lights of home.

Well, some times I'm so burdened and my cross is hard to bear,
And old Satan tries to dim my view;
Then I just look up to Jesus, He is standing close by;
And once again His great love shines on through.

Oh, I can almost see the lights of that city,
I can see them gathered all around the great white throne;
Through faith in my Saviour and His wonderful love,
I can almost see the lights of home.

Through faith in my Saviour, and His wonderful love,
I can almost see the lights of home.

last of second verse

When he says child you're soon coming home

Part of chorus

I can almost see lights of that city
It's like nothing that I've ever seen before


Sorry that is all that I know
