I'M Going Home

,

Lord thank you for this life,
As I have lived a full life,
It was not always as I would have like,
But I lived it to the best of what I could,
I’m going home; Home to the place I want to be,
I’m going home to Jesus where He waits for me,
I have been a long weary believer, 
As I’ve been away to long,
I now know what I’ve been searching for, 
As He's been there in me all along,
I’m going home; Home is the place I want to be,
I’m going home to Jesus where He waits for me,
I have been and seen lots of places in life’s journey,
Now I yearn for familiar faces in familiar places,
I hear familiar voices calling me to come home, 
I see familiar faces looking at me,
I’m going home; Home is the place I want to be,
I’m going home to Jesus where He waits for me,
My time is near, the hour I know not,
I see Jesus' face across the Heaven’s,
I hear His soft sweet voice calling me home,
 I can’t wait for my real life to begin,
I’m going home; Home is the place I want to be,
I’m going home to Jesus where He waits for me.

A kind and tender write, Samuel. Home with our family and friends can be fun and exhilarating. Home to Jesus would be sweet and soothing. A quiet and serene write! Best to you and yours, Mikki

Reverend, Beautiful lyrical poem in honor of our Savior. You are obviously an established poet. Enjoyed your preamble to heaven's call. Consider entering contest-What Easter Means to Me...Contests: by Members. You have a lovely testimony here. Blessings. Gwendolen

Dear Reverend Samuel, possessed of the thorough perspicacity of your biblical namesake, you've crafted what will go down the long lanes of history as an unputdownable masterpiece. You remind me of Charles Wesley. May the A lmighty Ruler of the universe bless you abundantly!
