IT’S so hard to keep my mind
Upon the test that’s set before me,
There seem so little time till I’ll be gone,
I go through all the motions
Of a good, devoted servant,
But I just can’t get my mind off going home.
I just can’t get my mind off going home to be with Jesus,
I just can’t help believing it won’t be long
So many things surround me, that could occupy my time,
But I just can’t get my mind off going home.
I’ve had my share of trouble and my heart is
Seamed from battles from all the times
I tried to win it on my own,
Since I’ve had this taste of victory through
The precious Blood of Jesus
I just can’t get my mind off going home.
