Matt Papa and Matt Boswell's song 'Almost Home' is a pilgrim anthem that encourages believers to persevere through life's trials with the assurance that heaven is near. The lyrics use the metaphor of a journey, urging listeners not to drop anchor or turn back, but to press on toward the 'blessed shore.' It references the hope of a future without tears and the joy of singing around God's throne. The song draws on the biblical idea of life as a vapor and calls the faint of heart to take courage, lifting their eyes to the coming dawn of eternity.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Don?t drop a single anchor 

We?re almost home

Through every toil and danger

We?re almost home

How many pilgrim saints have before us gone?

No stopping now

We?re almost home


That promised land is callin?

We?re almost home

And not a tear shall fall then

We?re almost home

Make ready now your souls for that kingdom come

No turning back

We?re almost home 


Almost home

We?re almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

O praise the Lord

We?re almost home


This journey ours together

We?re almost home

Unto that great forever

We?re almost home

What song anew we?ll sing ?round that happy throne 

Come faint of heart

We?re almost home


Almost home

We?re almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

O praise the Lord

We?re almost home


This life is just a vapor

We?re almost home

That sun is settin? yonder

We?re almost home

Take courage, for this darkness shall break to dawn

O lift your eyes

We?re almost home


Almost home

We?re almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

O praise the Lord

We?re almost home


Almost home

We?re almost home

So press on toward that blessed shore

O praise the Lord

We?re almost home
