Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home

(album: Sheltering Tree - 2000)

The morning paper is reading like a scroll
Like the headlines from 2000 years ago
Everywhere I look I see the signs
My hearts telling me its almost time

Don't it make you want to go home
Run through those gates and fall in Jesus' arms
and all the cares of this world will be gone
Don't it make ya...Don't it make you wanna go home

I cant wait to sit at Jesus feet
To hear him say welcome home to me
I can almost feel his warm embrace
And His nail scarred hands as they wipe my tears away!

Don't it make you want to go home
Run through those gates and fall in Jesus' arms
and all the cares of this world will be gone
Don't it make ya...Don't it make you wanna go home

Far away from this world of pain
God's prepared a perfect place
And I can't stop thinking about it
I'm so homesick for it
Don't it make you want...don't it make you wanna go home

Don't it make you want to go home
Run through those gates and fall in Jesus' arms
and all the cares of this world will be gone
Don't it make ya...Don't it make you wanna go home

Don't it make you want to go home
Run through those gates and straight to heavens throne
and fall in Jesus' arms
Don't it make ya...Don't it make you wanna go home

yea, yes I wanna go home
yea, yes I wanna go home
yea, yes I wanna go home
