I'm Too Near Home Songtext
von The Happy Goodman Family

I′ve been travelin' here in this life
With its heartaches, troubles and strife
Sometimes satan tries to tell me to turn aside
I say, "Satan, get thee behind me"
No returnin′ in me you'll find
I'm too near my heavenly home, where I′ll abide

There is joy goin′ this way, it gets sweeter everyday
My dear Lord is leadin' the way to realms above
He′ll be with me until the end
Be my Savior, Guide and my Friend
I'll arrive into Heaven, a home of perfect love


I′m too near home with my Lord
To miss sweet Heaven's reward
I′m not (and I am not) returnin' to sin
I have made my vow!
See, there's nothing to go back to
Oh, praise God, Heaven′s in view
I′m too near my heavenly home
And I'll not turn back now

I′m too near home with my Lord
To miss sweet Heaven's reward
I′m not (and I am not) returnin' to sin
I′ve made (I have made) my vow!
Oh, there's nothing to go back to
Oh, praise God, Heaven's in view
I′m too near my heavenly home
And I′ll not turn back now (not turn back now)

I'm too near home with my Lord
To miss sweet Heaven′s reward
I'm not (and I am not) returnin′ to sin
I've made (I have made) my vow!
There′s nothing to go back to
Oh, praise God, Heaven's in view
I'm too near my heavenly home
And I′ll not turn back now (turn back now)
