Porter Wagoner - You're Not Home Yet lyrics

rate me

(You're not home you're not home you're not home yet

I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing

There'll be a crowd to greet you a choir of angels to meet you)

If you've got two or three minutes I'd like to tell you a story

It's a story about a preacher

But this story I wanna tell you is about a particular preacher

Who went over seas to fight a war

Now this is a war forgot and not for any country

And he fought a long long time and he won a lot of souls

But finally this preacher got old and he was coming home

He just happened to be on the same ship with someone who we call a famous celebrity

When the boat docked there were thousands there to meet the celebrity

And they carried him off of his shoulders

But you there wasn't no one there to meet the preacher

And he looked into the heavens and said God did you forget

And it seemed like the heavens broke open

And he said no son I didn't forget but you must remember that you're not home yet

(You're not home...

I didn't forget but son you're not home yet
