Song Lyrics

I’m Only Going Home

4/4

It could be a day just like today,

When You come to take this child away -

My heart could skip a beat or two

And suddenly I’d be with You -

And it could be a day just like today.

Chorus:


BUT DON’T YOU CRY AT MY PARTING,

I’VE LIVED MY LIFETIME FOR THIS;

DON’T YOU CRY AT MY PARTING
,
AT LAST THE NAIL PRINTS IN HIS HANDS I’LL KISS,

WITH EYES BEHOLDING JESUS,

AND FEET THAT WALK THE STREETS OF GOLD

I WON’T BE NEEDING SORROW -

I’M ONLY GOING HOME!


I’ve looked for You to come, dear Lord, so long,

And I’ve sung about You in my song,

But this one thing I surely know

Each year - each day - I older grow

And it could be a day just like today.

Chorus

Life’s uncertain, that’s one thing for sure

Things don’t ever stay the way they were -

Just a moment - it could mean

I’d leave this world, my soul set free,

And it could be a day just like today!


I’ve always thought You’d come again someday...

I still believe it’s true just as You say,

But if You call before that day

I’ll tak0e Your hand, You’ll lead the way

And it could be a day just like today!


Last Chorus:

But don’t you cry at my parting,

I’ve lived my lifetime for this,

Don’t you cry at my parting -

At last the nail prints in His hands I’ll kiss!

With eyes beholding Jesus

And feet that walk the streets of Gold

I won’t be needing sorrow-

I’m only Going Home!


Tag:(ret.)

No, I won’t need your sorrow any more....

I’m only... going .....Home....

Just going Home...
