From the recording I'm Going Home
Lyrics
I was a citizen of heaven before I was born
By faith I was born in God's mind
I was alive as I could possibly be
The first time He even thought of me
And I thank God I'm growing older
Every day I get a little closer home
I'm going to live with my Father up in heaven
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I miss the family up in heaven
I miss their ever-loving ways
The rest of the family is down here with me
And we'll be a-coming home someday
And I thank God I'm growing older
Every day I get a little closer home
I'm going to live with my Father up in heaven
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
He said let it be on earth as it is in heaven
So one day He'll join His spirit here on earth
But 'til then where He is is up in heaven
And my hometown is with the Father where I was born
Yeah, my hometown is with the Father where I was born
And I thank God I'm growing older
Every day I get a little closer home
I'm going to live with my Father up in heaven
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
And I thank God I'm growing older
Every day I get a little closer home
