The Foghorn Stringband - Longing For a Home lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I'm only a pilgrim and a stranger

In this unfriendly world I roam

Tell his who's called me from darkness

And promised a heavenly home

And this wonderful love I am telling

Wherever on earth I may be

I'm striving each day to be faithful

To the savior that suffered for me

(Chorus)

And I'm longing for home

Though the sun's going down

I long to go where

Sweet rest can be found

Lord, I'm just about through

With this old house of clay

I'm leaving this world

For glory someday

(Verse 2)

Soon labors on Earth will be ending

We'll be leaving this old world for ever

We'll leave the dark valley of shadow

For a land that is better, they say

In the Bible we read of a city

Who's builder is Jesus foretold

Someday this will tend to be falling

And this wonderful place shall be home

(Chorus)
