When I was younger an older gentlemen I went to church with sang a song and the only line I remember is from the chorus and it was "I'm so tired I wanna go home."

I know that's vague but I've had that song in my mind. Does anyone know the song?

Thanks and God Bless!

I'm So Tired, I want To Get Home
by E.M. Bartlett
1922, Stamps Baxter music
p. 34 in Favorite Songs and Hymns

1 I am on my way to the land of day, I am going there I know,
I have journeyed long in this pilgrim way, I have suffered here below,
Now my time has come to enter in, Soon on earth no more I'll roam,
I have come so far on this gospel road, I'm so tired, I want to get home.

chorus

I'm so tired, I want to get home, To that land of rest and peace,
Where I'll live with loved ones forever more, 'Mid the joys that never cease;
I have come so far on this gospel road That I long for Heaven's dome,
I have borne these years, such a heavy load, I'm so tired I want to get home.

2 Long has been my stay and my work for God, He has blest me in the way,
He has kept me straight in the narrow road, Has been with me ev'ry day;
Now my voice to me is sweet indeed As He calls for me to come,
I am ready, waiting to leave this world, I'm so tired, I want to get home.

3 I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith, And my course is finished now,
This tired soul of mine longs for rest, sweet rest, To His will I can but bow;
Jesus calls for me and I must go, Soon I'll land in Heaven's dome,
These tired feet of mine will find sweet relief, I'm so tired, I want to get home.
