Question: I am looking for the music and lyrics for Going Home Religious version.
Tamara: Heavenly Doves editor
According to Wikipedia there are at least 22 songs called “Going Home”. How many of them are religious? How many are suitable to be played at funerals? I don’t know. It seems the most well know gospel song called Going Home is performed by Bill and Gloria Gaither.
Lyrics
Many times in my in child hood when we’ve travelled so far
By nightfall how weary I’d grown
Fathers arms would slip around me and gently he’d say
My child we’re going home
Going home, I’m going home
There is nothing to hold me here
I’ve caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land
Praise God, I’m going home
Now the twilight is fading, the day soon shall end
Lord, I get homesick, the farther I roam
But the Father has led me each step of the way
And now I’m going home
Going home, I’m going home
There is nothing to hold me here
I’ve caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land
Praise God, I’m going home
