My Heart is A-Homing for Heaven

If you feel restless and longing for home

A place where you always belong

We are destined in the depths of our soul

For a final homecoming e're long

All other homecomings are foretastes

"We meet to part and part to meet"

All other homecomings are fleeting

But our final homecoming`s complete.

My heart is a-homing for heaven

The place where my weary soul hides

For Jesus is my destination

In Him I`ll forever abide.

So with longing we face toward the future

To safety, belonging and love

We were created for another world

Designed for a secure home above

For every loss and every delight

Every promise in Jesus is stored

Though I live move and be in Him here

They are Yes and Amen in my Lord

My heart is a-homing for heaven

The place where my weary soul hides

For Jesus is my habitation

In Him I`ll forever abide.
