Hello, old friend. How long has it been? You've walked beside me all these miles These years that came and went And I have held you close But you have held me closer All my life This beautiful life But Jesus I am sure you know how deep it runs in me The yearning that I have to feel my feet on Heaven's streets And how I long to roam Where sorrow can not go My Lord, come soon I long to be with You Oh, won't you take me home Oh, won't you take me home My dear and faithful friend When does it all begin? When will I see Your face And touch the scars upon Your skin? Somewhere down the road Or is it getting closer? Please, come soon I long to be with You Oh, won't you take me home Oh, won't you take me home This is not where I belong Oh, won't you take me home I wanna be forever With you forever Oh, won't you take me home I wanna be forever With you forever Oh, won't you take me home I wanna be forever With you forever Oh, won't you take me home I wanna be forever With you forever Oh, won't you take me home Oh, won't you take me home Oh, won't you take me home
