Almost Home by Gertrude Jefferies Soon I will take a journey, To a land beyond this vale. The Captain has weighed anchor And I'm just about to sail. I'll be traveling with my best Friend, So I won't have any fears. We've been planning for this journey, For many, many years. I'll need very little luggage For I won't be coming back. In this place where I am going I won't suffer any lack. When I reach my destination And the journey's finally o'er, There'll be many friends to meet me, Crowded on that heavenly shore. Then my Captain will present me In a ceremony grand, To my Host, the King of heaven With the nail prints in his hands |
