lyrics version 1
Walking a path, following some steps
The road I'm travelling on is rough but I am safe
'Cause he has taken me by my hand
And his words are the signs that I must follow
He guides me through my sorrow
But there will be days my eyes become blinded
And I will stumble and fall
But then he'll fill my heart with peace
He'll touch my eyes so that I can see
The place made for me
Soon I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land
And soon I'll meet him face to face
And he will say now you can rest
And when I see him I freely can sing
Blessed be my father, almighty king
I lift my voice, singing his praise
'Cause he has saved me by his loving grace
This is why we sing, sing girls
Soon I will be home, I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll reach the prize to face
And he will say finally
Allright, we take the chorus one more time, soon I will go [Spoken]
Soon I will be home, I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll meet him face to face
And he will say now you can rest
And the bridge [Spoken]
Someday I know I will see him, Jesus
Someday I know I'll be there
Soon I will be home, I will be home forever
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll meet him face to face
Finally I rest
The road I'm travelling on is rough but I am safe
'Cause he has taken me by my hand
And his words are the signs that I must follow
He guides me through my sorrow
But there will be days my eyes become blinded
And I will stumble and fall
But then he'll fill my heart with peace
He'll touch my eyes so that I can see
The place made for me
Soon I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land
And soon I'll meet him face to face
And he will say now you can rest
And when I see him I freely can sing
Blessed be my father, almighty king
I lift my voice, singing his praise
'Cause he has saved me by his loving grace
This is why we sing, sing girls
Soon I will be home, I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We'll reach the prize to face
And he will say finally
Allright, we take the chorus one more time, soon I will go [Spoken]
Soon I will be home, I will be home
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll meet him face to face
And he will say now you can rest
And the bridge [Spoken]
Someday I know I will see him, Jesus
Someday I know I'll be there
Soon I will be home, I will be home forever
Soon I'll reach the promised land, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll meet him face to face
Finally I rest
