Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics

Lives of Praise: There's A Home

Refrain1  :  There’s a home, a place of perfect peace
For our souls, O land of life’s increase
For those longing just to see God’s face
Fed on earth by each taste of grace…
                                Where there’s no more weeping, no losing, only keeping
                                Meek…the kings and peasants,  made holy in God’s presence
                                                HOME  SWEET HOME!

                v. 1    While we live as mortgage-holders
                                We owe, we owe, so off-to-work-we-go
                                Learning Love, we are God’s own soldiers
                                Our room’s prepared, and the Lord can’t wait to show…

Refrain 2:    There’s a home, a place of perfect peace
For our souls,  O land of life’s increase
For those longing just to see God’s face,
Fed on earth by each taste of grace…
                Where there’s no more sorrow, no “wait until tomorrow”..
                No more pain of losses, so pilgrims take your crosses
                                                HOME SWEET HOME!

                v.3    While we claim our own earth-bound addresses
                                We sleep secure, relaxed in favorite chairs
                                We’ll be more at home where God’s hand caresses
                                To Him we’ll fly on wings of answered prayers!
                                (Repeat Refrain….)
                                HOME SWEET HOME… HOME SWEET HOME!!!
