Going Home

A brief lyric built around the moment of Christ's return, where the world's collapse and the believer's rescue happen in the same breath. The opening lines fix on a darkened sky and a stilled earth, with clouds pulling back as the Son is revealed — an image of unveiling rather than catastrophe. The chorus then names the sight that anchors everything: Jesus arriving in the Eastern sky to gather His children, and the singer's plain response, "I'm going home." The second verse stacks disasters — collisions, deaths, falling planes, graves splitting open, seas parting — but the tone isn't dread. These are the birth pangs that accompany the homecoming, listed almost matter-of-factly because the destination is already settled. The repetition of "I see Jesus" works as a confession of sight, a deliberate fixing of attention on the returning Christ while everything else comes apart. The song holds together two things most worship music keeps separate: the terror of a dissolving world and the calm of a person who already knows where they're headed. It ends where it began, with the sky and the Son, and a traveler who has stopped being afraid of the road.
