Journeying Home

Soon I will take a journey
To a land beyond this vale
The Captain has weighed anchor
And I'm just about to sail.
The course has now been charted
I'm just waiting for the call.
My ticket had been purchased
When Jesus paid it all.

I'll be traveling with my best Friend
So I won't have any fear.
We've been planning for this journey
All these many, many years.
I'll need very little luggage
For I won't be coming back.
In the place where I am going
I won't suffer any lack.

When I reach my destination
and the journey's finally o're,
There'll be many friends to meet me
Crowded on that heavenly shore.
And my Captain will present me
In a ceremony grand,
To my host, the King of heaven
He'll have nail scars in his hands.

There will be a celebration
Like I've never known before.
Such a glorious grand reunion
With all those gone on before.
I'm so glad I booked my passage,
Way back there at Calvary,
When Jesus gave the invitation,
Come spend eternity with me.
