Representative Text

1 I am trav’ling up to glory,
On my journey home,
On my journey home;
Where I’ll sing Redemption’s story;
I’m on my journey home.

Refrain:
So I go singing, praying,
Watching and meditating on the life to come;
I am living here, but I’m not of this world,
I’m on my journey home.

2 I can see the friends gone before me,
On my journey home,
On my journey home;
Angel bands are hovering o’er me,
I’m on my journey home. [Refrain]

3 I am leaving sorrows behind me,
On my journey home,
On my journey home;
Nevermore can Satan confine me,
I’m on my journey home. [Refrain]

4 I can feel my burdens grow lighter,
On my journey home,
On my journey home;
On before, the pathway grows brighter
I’m on my journey home. [Refrain]
