The winds of war keep raging through the land far and near The cries of hungry children, the pain, the falling tears Nations gather around the table, for peace they've tried for years Yet war still rages higher, sweeping through the battlefields Oh, we're living with the greatest promise that man has ever known The promise came from Heaven, a blessed peace and hope Oh, the battle keeps raging higher but we will have no fear The Savior's arms are open and soon He shall appear CHORUS It's almost over, we are going home Our Lord is coming to claim His own Be faithful, children, brave and strong It's almost over we are going home
