Verse #1
When the eastern sky breaks open and the trumpet shall sound
All God’s children will gather, first the ones that’s in the ground
They’ll be shouting and a singing and praising His name
When the Lord comes home on the homecoming day
CHORUS
It’s gonna be a hallelujah homecoming day
When all God’s children are lifted away
And they’ll be carried on to heaven where they will stay
It’s gonna be a hallelujah homecoming day
Verse #2
I’ve made my reservations, my fare has been paid
I’m counting now the minutes, the hours, and the days
I’m listening, ever listening, for my Lord to say
Come on home my children, it’s a homecoming day
