Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Many times in my in childhood 

When we've traveled so far

By nightfall how weary I've grown

Fathers arms would slip around me 

And gently he'd say

My child were going home


Going home, I'm going home

There is nothing to hold me here

I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land

Praise God, I'm going home


Now the twilight is fading

The day soon shall end

Lord, I get homesick

The farther I roam

Oh, but the Father, he has led me

Each step of the way

And now I'm going home


Going home, I'm going home

There is nothing 

To hold me here

I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land

Praise God, I'm going home

Oh, oh, oh
