THE ROAD THAT LEADS HOME

 

There's a familiar country road

That always takes me home

A place of warmth and love

No matter where I roam

 

Lined with trees and wildflowers

A road so crooked and wide

A place so dear to my heart

In the beautiful countryside

 

No place on earth is so precious

Than where I grew up as a child

And even when I'm far away

The memories reach through the miles

 

There's another road that leads home

A place so perfect and sweet

I haven't yet finished my journey

But I long to walk on it's streets

 

This road is so straight and narrow

But I sometimes get lost on my way

There's a book of directions to follow

And there's help along the way

 

My home here on Earth is temporary

Someday it will pass away

But the home at the end of my journey

Will be there forever to stay

 

It's streets are paved with gold

It's mansions so bright and fair

And someday at the end of my journey

I'll travel through the air

 

Yes, Heaven is my destination

I feel like I've traveled so long

Someday Jesus will come for me

And I'll hear the angels song

 

The eastern sky will split open

My savior will appear in the sky

He'll lift me up in the air

And home with him I will fly
