I've Never Been This Homesick

There's a light in the window,

The table's spread in splendor;

Someone's standing by the open door.

I can see the crystal river,

So I must be near forever;

Lord, I've never been this homesick before.

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,

And I'm ready for deliverance.

Lord, I've never been this homesick before.

I can see the family gather,

Sweet faces, all familiar;

No one's old or feeble anymore.

This old lonesome heart is cryin';

Think I'll spread my wings for flyin'.

Lord, I've never felt this homesick before.
