Hello, old friend. How long has it been?
You've walked beside me all these miles
These years that came and went
And I have held you close

But you have held me closer
All my life
This beautiful life
But Jesus

I am sure you know how deep it runs in me
The yearning that I have to feel my feet on Heaven's streets
And how I long to roam
Where sorrow can not go

My Lord, come soon
I long to be with You

Oh, won't you take me home

Oh, won't you take me home
My dear and faithful friend
When does it all begin?
When will I see Your face

And touch the scars upon Your skin?
Somewhere down the road
Or is it getting closer?

Please, come soon
I long to be with You
Oh, won't you take me home
Oh, won't you take me home
This is not where I belong
Oh, won't you take me home

I wanna be forever
With you forever
Oh, won't you take me home
I wanna be forever
With you forever
Oh, won't you take me home
I wanna be forever
With you forever
Oh, won't you take me home
I wanna be forever
With you forever
Oh, won't you take me home
Oh, won't you take me home

Oh, won't you take me home
