Before I lost my singing voice I sang many solo`s for church, weddings, funerals, dedications etc. One of my very favorites was "
Homesick For Heaven". Here are the words....
Home Sick for Heaven
So dear to my heart is the promise of God,
A home with the pure and blest;
Where earth weary pilgrims, strangers here below,
Will find their eternal rest.
Chorus:
I’m homesick for heaven, seems I cannot wait,
Yearning to enter Zion’s pearly gate;
There never a heartache, never a care,
I long for my home over there.
‘Tis Eden, fair Eden, I long to behold,
Where naught can despoil that’s fair;
Where saints of all ages, hold communion sweet,
The glories of heaven share.
But chiefest of all is the thought that enthralls,
That I shall behold my King;
Rejoice in His presence, revel in His grace,
And ever His praises sing.
by Henry de Fluiter
I too long to go home.
Sorry....this has nothing to do with tomatoes but I couldn't resist the opportunity Richard gave us to vote for our yearning to go home.
