THERE’S a light on the window
The table spread with splendour
Someone’s standing by the opened door
I can see the crystal river
Oh! I must be near forever
And I’ve never been this homesick before.
Oh see the bright light shine
It’s just about home time
I can see my Father standing at the door
This world’s been a weariness
I’m ready for deliverance
Lord I’ve never been this homesick before.
I can see the family gathered
Sweet faces they are all familiar
Over there where none will be feeble anymore
Oh my lonesome heart is crying
I got to spread my wings for flying
Lord I’ve never been this homesick before.
