(1)
Troubles come, burdens get heavy and Lord it seems I can’t go on
But I can hear your voice from Heaven speaking to me
My child hold on it won’t be long now
Until I come back to take you home
Eternally, you’ll dwell with me forever more
Chorus:
When I reach home someday far away from this old place
I’ll leave my troubles and all my burdens so far behind
And there I’ll rest at Jesus feet, and I’ll sing a song so sweet
When I reach home, oh-praise his name, when I reach home.
(2)Since God reached down and saved my soul
I’ve tried to make heaven my home, I’ve come through trials
But Lord I’m so glad to make it through
I’ll have a rest someday to come when my labor down here is done
But I will never be satisfied ‘till I reach home.
(3)
The way is straight and narrow, but that path will lead us home
Where we can see our precious loved ones that have gone on
And as we do the best we can, we will surely reach heavens strand
Oh what day when we can say ’we’ve made it home.
Chorus:
When I reach home someday far away from this old place
I’ll leave my troubles and all my burdens so far behind
And there I’ll rest at Jesus feet, and I’ll sing a song so sweet
When I reach home, oh-praise his name, when I reach home.
