I've Never Been This Homesick Before

(album: My Kind Of Gospel - 1984)

There's a light in the window
And the table's set in splendor
Someone's standing by the open door
I can see a crystal river
So I must be near forever
Lord, I've never been this homesick before

See the bright light shine
It's just about hometime
I can see my Father standing at the door
This world has been a wilderness
I'm ready for deliverance
Lord, I've never been this homesick before

I can see the family gather
Sweet faces, there all familiar
But no one's old or feeble anymore
Oh, this lonesome heart is crying
Think I'll spread my wings for flying
Lord, I've never been this homesick before

See the bright light shine
It's just about hometime
I can see my Father standing at the door
This world has been a wilderness
I'm ready for deliverance
Lord, I've never been this homesick before
Lord, I've never been this homesick before
