There's a light in the window The table's spread in splendor Someone's standing by the open door I can see a crystal river I must be near forever See, 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 ♪ I can see the family gather Sweet faces, all familiar And no one's old or feeble anymore And my lonesome heart is cryin' Think I'll spread my wings for flyin' See I've never felt 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 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, thank you Lord
