There's a light in the window And the table's set in splendor Someone's standing by the open door I can see a crystal river So I must be near forever Lord, I've never been this homesick before See the bright light shine It's just about hometime I can see my Father standing at the door This world has been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before I can see the family gather Sweet faces, there all familiar But no one's old or feeble anymore Oh, this lonesome heart is cryin' Think I'll spread my wings for flyin' Lord, I've never been this homesick before See the bright light shine It's just about hometime I can see my Father standing at the door This world has been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord, I've never been this homesick before Lord, I've never been this homesick before
