Lately I've been longing for heaven Lately I've been wanting to go To the place where tears are forgotten To the land where living waters flow Joy in his presence complete It must be that I'm homesick for heaven And it's Jesus I'm longing to see Home-sick for heaven I'm homesick but I haven't any home It must be that I'm homesick for Jesus Cause I'm homesick where ever I roam In this world I've known earthly pleasures But they only seem to last a little while Even when I've gathered all my treasure They only seem to bring a little smile But they tell me there's a heavenly store house Eyes that's never seen nor ears that's heard All the things he has in store for those who love him All his children who stand on his word
