There's a light in the window The table spread in splendor Someone's standing by the open door I can see a crystal river I must be near forever You see I've never been this homesick before See the bright light shine, it's just about home time L can see my father standing at the door This old world's been a wilderness And I'm ready for deliverance Lord I've never been this homesick before I can see the family gather Sweet faces they're all familiar But no one's old or feeble anymore Oh this lonesome heart is crying Think I'll spread my wings for flying Lord I've never been this homesick before I See the bright light shine, it's just about home time I can see my father standing at the door This old world's been a wilderness I'm ready for deliverance Lord I've never been this homesick before See the bright light shine, it's just about home time I can see my father standing at the door This old world's been a wilderness and I'm ready for deliverance Lord I've never been this homesick before Oh I have never been this homesick before.
