i'm longing for home

i'm just a pilgrim and a stranger

with this unfriendly world i now roam

seeking he who has promised salvation

and he who has promised a home

and through the dark veil

i wonder

and i know that i have surely gone astray

through trouble

through trial

through darkness

i'll see blessed jesus

someday

and i'm longing for home

though the sun's going down

i long to go where

sweet rest can be found

lord

i'm just about through

with this old house of clay

i said i long to see

jesus

way up yonder in glory

someday

oh

jerry's longing for home

though the sun's going down

i said i long to go where

sweet rest may be found

hallelujah!

lord

i'm just about through

hallelujah

with this old house of clay

i said i long to see my

jesus

whoa lord

way up in a-glory someday

yeah

i'm gonna sing it one more time for ya

now

lord

i'm longing for home

though the sun is goin' down

let it go

hallelujah

i'm ready to go!

i long to go where

just get me outta this old world

lord

sweet rest can be found

yes

i'm just about through

with this old house of clay

i long to see

jesus

in glory someday-eee
