I just stopped in to say,
I'm on my way home.
I've traveled many years,
But never traveled alone.

This place has never been my home.
A place I wanted to spend,
All my days in eternity
A world without end.

I see you standing by my bedside,
Tears rolling down your face,
But don't grieve for me,
I'm tired and I've finished my race.

I'm only getting what I've wished for,
For many years you see,
To see the Master I have served,
That's where I want to be.

No sad tomorrows anymore,
No tears to dim my eyes,
Just love and laughter forever more,
In my mansion in the sky.

In this world we travel through,
Many valleys deep and wide,
And see the sorrows of mankind,
And hurts we could not hide.

I'm ready now to go,
No baggage in my hand,
There's nothing I will need,
In this world that God has planned.

He has never forgotten anything,
Or left anything out,
His plans are finished completely,
And I have no doubts.

It's only a life of beauty and wonder,
When I can see those gates,
And I will take my time
To look and wonder,
He keeps them open late.

So for now, so long, but never good-by,
We'll meet again some day,
And it will be a glorious reunion,
For God has made the way.
