[male vocals] How
far
from
home?
How
far
from
home?
I
asked
the
watchman,
tell
me
where
I
stand.
I
asked
the
watchman
in
the
dark
of
night,
'How
far
from
home?'
Iβ
m
searching
for
the
light.
He
turned
to
me
with
eyes
of
burning
fire,
'The
morning
comes,
lift
your
spirit
higher.'
Don't
you
weep,
just
keep
on
moving
on,
The
light
is
rising
like
the
breaking
dawn.
Guide
your
steps,
keep
faith
inside
your
soul,
To
reach
the
Kingdom,
that
is
your
goal.
Oh,
the
road
is
long
but
the
promise
is
true,
Iβ
m
running
home
to
see
a
vision
new.
Iβ
m
running
home
to
see
a
vision
new.
How
far
from
home?
Iβ
m
pressing
toward
the
prize,
With
glory
shining
right
before
my
eyes.
Yes
Lord,
Iβ
m
coming
home!
Thank
You
Jesus,
Iβ
m
almost
there.
I
asked
the
soldiers
standing
in
the
field,
'How
long
the
battle?
When
will
shadows
yield?'
They
spoke
to
me
with
voices
firm
and
strong,
'We
fight
the
darkness,
standing
all
day
long.'
'Don't
you
cry,
keep
courage
in
your
heart,
Though
enemies
rise,
weβ
ll
never
fall
apart.'
We
take
the
victory
when
the
fight
is
done,
Marching
forward
beneath
the
holy
sun.
Oh,
the
road
is
long
but
the
promise
is
true,
Iβ
m
running
home
to
see
a
vision
new.
How
far
from
home?
Iβ
m
pressing
toward
the
prize,
With
glory
shining
right
before
my
eyes.
Yes
Lord,
Iβ
m
coming
home!
Praise
Him,
Iβ
m
almost
there.
I
asked
the
heavens,
I
asked
the
stars
above,
They
whispered
secrets
of
eternal
love.
'The
time
of
trouble
is
passing
like
a
dream,
Weβ
re
waiting
for
the
ending
of
the
stream.'
Hallelujah!
The
promise
is
near!
Thank
You
Jesus,
banishing
my
fear!
Creation
waits
for
that
glorious
day,
When
all
the
sorrow
finally
fades
away.
Keep
your
eyes
on
the
King
upon
the
throne,
For
He
is
waiting
to
call
us
all
His
own.
Don't
look
back,
the
finish
line
is
near,
The
song
of
heaven
is
ringing
loud
and
clear.
Glory
to
God,
the
journey
is
complete,
Laying
our
burdens
right
at
His
feet.
Oh,
the
road
is
long
but
the
promise
is
true,
Iβ
m
running
home
to
see
a
vision
new.
How
far
from
home?
Iβ
m
pressing
toward
the
prize,
With
glory
shining
right
before
my
eyes.
Yes
Lord,
Iβ
m
coming
home!
Amen,
Iβ
m
almost
there.
Itβ
s
getting
close,
I
feel
it
in
my
soul.
So
close
to
home,
Heβ
s
making
me
whole.
How
far
from
home?
Iβ
m
almost
at
the
gate.
Glory,
glory,
I
will
watch
and
wait.
Yes
Lord,
I'm
home.
