Going Home Will Be So Sweet

Each heartache I have along life's way
Makes me long for that wonderful day
When trials and tears will all be o'er,
And I am safe on that golden shore.

I long to see my great Savior's face.
I'll thank Him for His amazing grace.
When in this world, no more I'll roam,
Then I'll be safe in my Heavenly home.

I'll see those friends who've gone before
And loved ones dear on that bright shore.
All of my sorrows and woes will be passed
When I am home with my Savior at last.

I know going home will be so sweet,
For then, Jesus, my Savior, I will meet
Face to face in that wonderful place,
When I have finished life's last race.
