I
THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THIS LIFE I HAVE WONDERED,
AND I'VE WORKED FOR JESUS ALL ALONG THE WAY.
BUT NOW LIFE'S EVENING SUN FOR ME IS SETTING,
I HAVE REACHED THE ENDING OF MY WAY.
II
LOOKING BACK UPON THE LIFE I'VE LIVED FOR JESUS,
I CAN SEE HOW HE HAS HELPED ME ALL THE WAY.
AND THE TEARS I'VE SHED JUST HELPED TO KEEP ME HUMBLE.
AND EACH BURDEN ONLY TAUGHT ME HOW TO PRAY.
III
THO I HAVE TO LEAVE SO MANY FRIENDS BEHIND ME,
AND THO PARTING OF OUR WAYS WILL TOUCH MY HEART.
BUT I'LL WAIT FOR THEM INSIDE THE GATES OF HEAVEN,
WHERE THE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL NEVER PART.
CHORUS
LORD I'VE BEEN FAITHFUL IN THE SERVICE YOU HAVE GIVEN.
AND THE HARVEST OF THE FIELDS LORD I HAVE DONE.
BUT NOW MY STEPS ARE GROWING WEARY.
LORD I'M READY I'M READY TO GO HOME.
