Beautiful isle of somewhere |
|
If you've got two or three minutes |
|
I'd like to tell you a story |
|
And this a story about a preacher |
|
And I know there's a lot of stories about a lot of preachers |
|
But this is a story of one particular preacher |
|
Who went overseas to fight a war |
|
And this was a war for God and not for any one country |
|
And he fought a long hard fight and he won a lot of souls |
|
But this preacher got old and he was coming home |
|
Now he just happened to be on the same ship |
|
With what some of us call a celebrity |
|
And when the boat docked |
|
There were thousands of people waiting |
|
To meet the celebrity |
|
And they carried him off on their shoulders |
|
But there was no one there |
|
To meet the old preacher |
|
And he looked up and he said |
|
"Lord did you forget?" |
|
Well, it seemed like the Heavens just broke open |
|
And the Lord said, "No son I didn't forget |
|
But you must remember |
|
You're not home yet" |
|
You're not home, you're not home |
|
You're not home yet |
|
I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing |
|
"There'll be a crowd to meet you |
|
A choir of angels to greet you |
|
I didn't forget but son |
|
You're not home yet" |
