I'm Going Home
by Barbara Philbrook

I'm going home now for eternity,
and there's one thing I'd like you to do for me.

Open God's Holy Word and seek to find,
the most beautiful truth and peace of mind.

Ask God to open your eyes that you may see,
the same great truths He showed to me.

No matter what you believe or feel,
I want you too to discover what is real.

I want you to see what is being offered to you,
from a Father who's love is so pure and true.

I want you to recognize there is a choice,
that you must make with your own voice.

God will not force you to spend eternity with me,
but if you want to it's completely free.

The sinning we've done has a great cost,
Jesus paid it for all of us on the cross.

He is offering life for eternity to you,
and accepting it yourself is all you must do.

Seek to find that is my final request to you,
God will provide just as He's promised to.

I'm going home I'll be waiting for you,
because all who seek to find will be coming home too.
