"That Home Far Away" lyrics

Billy Strings & Don Julin Lyrics

"That Home Far Away"
(originally by the Stanley Brothers)

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that home far away

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow
Driftin' like a ship lost at sea
No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps
But then Jesus answered my plea

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that home far away

The lights are bright no longer I'm blinded
From the bondage of sin I'm set free
He lifted me up to join salvation
I'll live on eternally

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine
May I walk in your light every day
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that home far away
And when I've crossed that deep silent river
I'll be happy in that home far away
