There's light in the window and the table spread in splendor

Someone's standing by the open door

I can see a crystal river, oh I must be near forever

And I've never been this homesick before

See the bright light shine, it's just about home time

l can see my father standing at the door

This old world's been a wilderness and I'm ready for deliverance

Lord I've never been this homesick before

I can see the family gather

Sweet faces they're all familiar

but no one's old or feeble anymore

Oh this lonesome heart is crying

Think I'll spread my wings for flying

Lord I've never been this homesick before

See the bright light shine, it's just about home time

I can see my father standing at the door

This old world's been a wilderness

And I'm ready for deliverance

Lord I've never been this homesick before

See the bright light shine, it's just about home time

I can see my father standing at the door

This old world's been a wilderness and I'm ready for deliverance

I have never been this homesick before

Oh I have never been this homesick before.
