Homesick for Heaven I've got a longing to go

[Guest]

i am looking for the words to I'm Homesick for Heaven

[songinmyheart]

is this it?

I'M HOME SICK FOR HEAVEN

I'M TRYING TO TRAVEL, THE PATH WAY THAT'S STRAIGHT.
EACH DAY BRINGS ME CLOSER, TO THE BEAUTIFUL GATE.
WHEN I LAY DOWN MY BURDENS, RECEIVE A BRIGHT CROWN.
PREPARING TO LIVE IN THAT HEAVENLY HOME.

CHORUS

I'VE GOT A LONGING, I'M HOME SICK TO GO.
TO A LAND WITHOUT HEART-ACHES, NO SORROW OR WOE.
THERE'S NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, IN THIS WORLD BELOW.
I'M HOME SICK FOR HEAVEN I'VE GOT A LONGING TO GO.

FIRST I WANT TO SEE MY SAVIOUR WHO SAVED ME FROM SIN,
AND HEAR HIS WELL DONE, AS HE WELCOMES ME IN.
THEN I WANT TO SEE MY MOTHER, SHE'S BEEN GONE SO LONG.
SHE SAID SHE'D BE WAITING, TO WELCOME ME HOME.

WHEN I'VE PRAYED MY LAST PRAYER, AND I'VE SUNG MY LAST SONG.
AND THE DEATH ANGEL WHISPERS, IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.
THEN IT'S GOOD-BYE TO LOVED ONES, WHOM I'VE MET ON MY WAY.
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN ON THAT HOME COMING DAY.

Sometimes I grow homesick for Heaven
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Sing glory around a white throne;
Where no heart is ever found aching
And no one is ever alone.

(Chorus)
I’m homesick for Heaven
I’m longing to go
To that city of gold
Where the River of Life
Freely flows through the street;
And there at the feet of my Savior
I’ll lay all my burdens down.
I’m homesick for Heaven
I’m ready to go.

(Verse 2)
Sometimes I grow weary of labor
And the trials that come with the day;
Then I look to that city of rest
Where the Savior is waiting to greet me
And the soul is eternally blest.

(Chorus)
I’m homesick for Heaven
I’m longing to go
To that city of gold
Where the River of Life
Freely flows through the street;
And there at the feet of my Savior
I’ll lay all my burdens down.
I’m homesick for Heaven
I’m ready to go.
