|
I stumbled down a long dark road |
|
From sunlight I had strayed |
|
The demons came and beckoned me |
|
I was lost and so afraid |
|
I felt that I was falling |
|
I thought it was a dream |
|
I called upon my Father |
|
To come and rescue me |
|
Oh Father rescue me |
|
A door just seemed to open |
|
The darkness turned to light |
|
The Lord appeared before me |
|
He wore a robe of white |
|
He spoke my name softly |
|
I felt such peace within |
|
He gently wrapped me in His arms |
|
And forgave me all my sins |
|
He forgave me all my sins |
|
Another door was opened |
|
A vision came so clear |
|
I was on a ship now sailing |
|
My Lord was standing near |
|
He pointed towards the distant shore |
|
And whispered to my soul |
|
"Your journey now is o'er my child |
|
Rejoice and welcome home" |
|
Rejoice and welcome home |
|
I saw my precious mother |
|
She was waiting by the river |
|
She smiled and waved and called my name |
|
There were angels all around her |
|
No sickness, pain or sorrow |
|
No strife, no fear of war |
|
No devil's lies, no children cry |
|
All is peace forevermore |
|
There is peace forevermore |
|
Oh brother, my dear brother |
|
You life could end today |
|
Except a man be born again |
|
He cannot see the way |
|
For Jesus there is waiting |
|
To lead us past the grave |
|
And take us home to be with Him |
|
When the final journey's made |
|
When the final journey's made |
|
(let's go home) |
