There's a light in the window And the table's spread in splendor And someone's standing by the open door I can see a crystal river Oh, I must be near forever Lord, I've never been this homesick before I see the bright light shine It's just about home time 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 Well, I can see my family gathering Sweet faces, all familiar And no one's old or feeble anymore Oh, my lonesome heart is cryin' Think I'm gonna spread my wings for flyin' Lord I've never been this homesick before I 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 Well, I see the bright light shine It's just about hometime And I can see my Father standing, at the door This world has been a wilderness Yes, I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before Lord, I've never been this homesick before (before)
