I'm homeward bound and it brings such joy to me,
and one day I'll be homeward bound for eternity.

If going to my home back in New England can be such a delight,
imagine the joy when I'm on my eternal flight.

Knowing I am surrendered with all of my heart,
knowing I've given God my best from the start.

Having received absolution from every past sin,
knowing Jesus will be waiting to invite me in.

Being the recipient of the warmest, most loving embrace,
seeing His love for me displayed on His face.

Reading of the love and having faith it is there,
and experiencing it in person just can't compare.

Feeling the embrace meant just for me,
will bring joy to my heart throughout eternity.

Serving God has been such a delight in my life,
He's given me so much and relieved all my strife.

Introducing me to the greatest friends here on Earth,
and giving me such a feeling of self worth.

But nothing on Earth will ever compare,
to the loving embrace awaiting us when we arrive there.
