I
I'VE WALKED WITH GOD THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS
THROUGH FLAME AND FLOOD THROUGH PAIN AND TEARS.
I'LL FOLLOW HIM HIS WILL OBEY
I'M NEARER HOME THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.
II
THE FLEETING CLOUDS THAT SWEEP THE SKY
THE WHISPERING WINDS THAT CHILL AND DIE.
THE SHIFTING SANDS ALL SPEAK TO SAY
YOU'RE NEARER HOME THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY.
III
EACH THOUGHT I THINK EACH PRAYER I PRAY
EACH STEP BRINGS ME NEARER HEAVEN'S GATE.
I'LL SHOUT WHEN I'M CALLED AWAY
I'M NEARER HOME THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.
CHORUS
I'M NEARER HOME THAN I WAS YESTERDAY
I'M CLOSER TO GOD ALONG THE WAY.
EACH STEP I TAKE EACH PRAYER THAT I PRAY
I'M NEARER HOME THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.
