“Not Home Yet”
Oh yeah
To all the travelers, pilgrims longing for a home
From one who walks with you
On this journey called life’s road
It is a long and winding road
From one who’s seen the view
Dreamt of staying on the mountains high
And one who’s cried like you
Wanting so much just to lay down and die
I offer this, we must remember this
We are not home yet, we are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead, let your heart not forget
We are not home yet, not home yet, not home yet
So close your eyes with me
And hear the Father saying, ” Welcome home”
Let us find the strength in all His promises to carry on
He said, “I’ll go prepare a place for you”
So let us not forget
We are not home yet, we are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead, let your heart not forget
We are not home yet, we are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead, let your heart not forget
We are not home yet, no, no
I know there’ll be a moment, I know there’ll be a place
Where we will see our Saviour and fall in His embrace
So let us not grow weary or too content to stay
‘Cause we are not home yet
We are not home yet, not home yet
So let us journey on
We are not home yet, we are not home yet
So keep on looking ahead, let your heart not forget
We are not home yet, oh we are not home yet
So keep on lookin’ ahead, let your heart not forget
We are not home yet, oh, we are not home yet
We are not home yet, we are not home yet, not home yet
We are not home yet, so let us journey on
Not home yet, we are not home yet
