I
EVERY DAY MY STEPS THEY GET A LITTLE SLOWER
PRETTY SOON MY TRIALS HERE WILL ALL BE GONE
AND WHEN MY LAST STEP I HAVE FINELY TAKEN
I WILL MOVE TO MY ETERNAL HOME
II
I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO CHURCH THAT EVENING.
AND MY HEART WAS SAD WHEN THEY KNELT TO PRAY.
BUT JESUS BID ME COME AND I FOLLOWED.
PRAISE THE LORD THAT'S WHERE I FOUND A BETTER WAY.
III
MY BODIES WEAK THE I KNOW IS GETTING NEARER.
EVERY THING I HAD BUT HOPE IS GONE.
NOW JESUS STANDS AT THE RIVER WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN.
I WON'T HAVE TO CROSS ALONE.
CHORUS
AS I LOOK BACK ON MY PAST MY LIFE GROWS WEAKER
AND MY HEART-ACHES HERE THEY'RE ALMOST GONE
BUT UP A HEAD I SEE A LIGHT IT MUST BE JESUS
HE'S WAITING THERE TO TAKE ME HOME.
PRAISE THE LORD I'M GOING HOME
