Looking for the lyrics to a Southern Gospel song, don't know the name or the band, all I remember is one line:

"Too near my Heavenly home, my dear sweet heavenly home"

or

"I'm too near Heaven my home, my dear sweet heavenly home"

I can't really remember which it was.

Im Too Near Home
The Happy Goodmans

1.
I've been traveling here in this life, with it's heartaches troubles and strife;
Sometimes Satan tries to tell me to turn aside.
I say, "Satan, get thee behind, no returning in me you'll find,
I'm too near my heavenly home where I'll abide".

Cho.
I'm too near home with my Lord, Too near home and heaven's reward,
I am not returning to sin, I've made my vow.
There's nothing to go back to, oh Praise the Lord, sweet heaven's in view.
I'm too near my heavenly home to turn back now.

2.
There is joy in going this way, it gets sweeter everyday.
My dear Lord is leading the way to realms above.
He'll be with me until the end; Be my Savior, Guide and my Friend;
I'll arrive in heaven my home of perfect love.

3.
Just one glimpse inside the home gates see my friends and loved ones who wait Twill be what ever the cost to make it through
I would not give up in the race I'll continue by the lords grace
Im too near my heavenly home beyond the blue
