I'm Longing for Home

I'M LONGING FOR HOME

"I'm only a pilgrim and a stranger. In this unfriendly world I roam... serving Him who has called me from darkness and promised a heavenly Home! Of His wonderful love I am telling wherever on earth I may be! I'm striving each day to be faithful to the Savior who suffered for me!

I'm longing for Home... for the sun's going down!
I wanna go where sweet rest can be found!
I'm just about through with this old house of clay!
I'm leaving this world for Glory some day!

Soon our labors on earth will be ended. We'll be leaving this old world some day! We'll leave the dark valley of the shadow for a Land that is better, they say! In the Bible we read of a City whose builder is Jesus, we're told! Some day this frail tent will be folded, and the beautiful scene shall unfold!

I'm longing for Home... for the sun's going down!
I wanna go where sweet rest can be found!
I'm just about through with this old house of clay!
I'm leaving this world for Glory some day!"

Thanks to Andrew Arp for this request! I have no idea when that day is coming for me, but I DO KNOW that it's gonna be a beautiful place of peace and rest and perfect-ness! I can't wait to see those waiting for me but, most of all, I can't wait to see Him!!
