A Soldier's Song

“A Soldier’s Song” 


I was traveling on this road
I didn’t know were I was going or which way to go
But then I saw this man who was all alone
He told me eventually ill make it home
He showed me so much love
I knew then it was God above
That’s why now I can say I’m home


I’m going home were I know best
I’m going home to complete my test
To were I can be made whole
Take back everything the devil stole
I’m going home were there is happiness
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home


When I get back home I’m going to try my best
To praise and shout because I’m never a guest
Meeting all my friends when I walk in
Putting on your Glory
Throwing away all my sin
You showed me so much love
I knew it was from far above
That’s why now I can say I’m home


Just imagine how far I was away
I never imagined this will be the day
I would receive my medal of honor
I came home to be my children father
I’m home 
I’m home
I am Home
