00:50 "A penny for your thoughts," I said to the old man,
00:57 as He sat there on the park bench all alone. 01:04 With silver hair, wrinkled brow, eyes gleaming, 01:12 he smiled and said, "I'm thinking about my home." 01:19 I sat down and we shared some laughs together, 01:26 and the cinema of remembrance, it did roll. 01:34 We talked about life's gains and its losses, 01:41 but mostly we just talked about his home. 01:48 He said, "I'm thinking about home. 01:52 Thinking about going home. 01:55 Dreaming about leaving here. 01:59 Ready to be moving on. 02:03 It won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone. 02:10 But until then, I'll be thinking about home." 02:18 I said, "Tell me, old man, where's your home 02:22 and what's it like?" 02:25 He said, "Oh, ain't nothing round here that compares." 02:32 He said, "A king had it built and gave the deed to me. 02:40 And all of God's family will be there." 02:47 He said, "I'm thinking about home. 02:51 Thinking about going home. 02:55 Dreaming about leaving here. 02:58 Ready to be moving on. 03:03 It won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone. 03:10 But until then, I'll be thinking about home." 03:18 It won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone. 03:25 But until then, I'll be thinking about home. 03:36 Thinking about home. 03:43 Thinking about my home. 04:24 I'm longing for a place I've never been, 04:32 but it's a place that I call my home, 04:42 where the sun is the light in the midst of the night. 04:51 Heaven means home to me. 05:00 Heaven means home to me. 05:10 Where Jesus is, I want to be. 05:18 There's no dying up there, this old earth can't compare. 05:27 That's why heaven means home to me. 05:47 I've heard of a beautiful city above, 05:55 with streets that are paved with pure gold. 06:05 But my eyes are fixed on Jesus my King. 06:13 That's why heaven means home to me. 06:23 Heaven means home to me. 06:33 Where Jesus is, I want to be. 06:40 There's no dying up there, this old earth can't compare. 06:50 That's why heaven means home to me. 07:00 What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. 07:08 And I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace. 07:18 When He takes me by the hand 07:22 and leads me through that promised land. 07:27 What a day, glorious day, that will be. 07:37 There's no dying up there, this old earth can't compare. 07:45 That's why heaven means home to me. 08:29 I welcome the sunrise as night turns to day. 08:37 Should I try again or turn and walk away? 08:44 The journey to this point seems so very hard, 08:52 yet I'm standing praying right here in the yard. 08:59 The tears that I shed don't seem like it's worth it, 09:07 yet I know You're on Your way. 09:15 Lord, lead me home. 09:22 There's no place to run and hide, 09:26 You know what I keep inside. 09:30 Lord, lead me home. 09:37 I need to find a place to rest, where life in You is best. 09:44 Lead me home. 09:53 I know I can trust You, You never let me down. 10:01 I know that I need You, You keep me off the ground. 10:08 Through disappointments You say, "It's okay. 10:16 Child, I love you. There will be a brighter day." 10:22 So I made up my mind to keep on walking. 10:30 I'm pressing on the higher way. 10:39 Lord, lead me home. 10:45 For there's no place to run and hide, 10:50 You know what I keep inside. 10:54 Lord, lead me home. 11:01 I need to find a place of rest, where life in You is best. 11:07 Lead me home. 11:12 I'm going to trust You ever more each day. 11:19 And I'm climbing higher as I pray. 11:30 Lord, lead me home. 11:37 There's no place to run and hide, 11:41 You know what I keep inside. 11:45 So Lord, lead me home. 11:52 I need to find a place of rest, where life in You is best. 11:59 Lead me home. 12:04 I need to find a place of rest, where life in You is best. 12:13 Lead me home. 12:20 Lord, lead me home. 13:01 One single drop of rain, 13:05 Your salty tear became blue ocean. 13:13 And one tiny grain of sand 13:17 turning in your hand, a world in motion. 13:25 You're out beyond the furthest morning star, 13:32 close enough to hold me in Your arms. 13:39 Adonai, I lift up my heart 13:47 and I cry. 13:52 My Adonai. 13:55 Maker of each moment, 13:59 Father of my hope and freedom. 14:08 Oh, my Adonai. 14:18 One timid faithful knock 14:21 resounds upon the Rock of Ages. 14:28 And one trembling heart and soul 14:32 becomes a servant bold and courageous. 14:40 You call across the mountains and the seas. 14:47 I answer from the deepest part of me. 14:54 Adonai, I lift up my heart 15:01 and I cry. 15:06 My Adonai. 15:08 You are Maker of each moment, 15:12 Father of my hope and freedom. 15:22 Oh, my Adonai. 15:29 From age to age You reign in Majesty. 15:38 And today You're making miracles in me. 15:44 Adonai, I lift up my heart 15:52 and I cry. 15:56 My Adonai. 15:58 You are Maker of each moment, 16:02 Father of my hope and freedom. 16:14 Oh, my Adonai. 16:21 My Adonai. 16:32 My Adonai. 16:56 It does not matter where you started. 17:04 But friend, it matters where you end. 17:12 We're all walking slow forever, 17:20 and there's only one road that leads to Him. 17:28 The way is straight, the path is narrow, 17:36 and though sometimes it seems we walk alone, 17:44 but an unseen hand is there to lead us. 17:52 Just follow Jesus. 17:56 He knows the way home. 18:08 He never said we would not suffer. 18:16 And He never said that we'd fail no more. 18:24 He never said we're spared the battle, 18:32 but He said He's already won the war. 18:40 The way is straight, the path is narrow, 18:48 and though sometimes it seems we walk alone, 18:56 but an unseen hand is there to lead us. 19:04 Just follow Jesus. 19:08 He knows the way home. 19:12 The way is straight, the path is narrow, 19:20 and though sometimes it seems we walk alone, 19:27 but an unseen hand is there to lead us. 19:36 Just follow Jesus. 19:40 He knows the way home. 19:44 Just follow Jesus. 19:50 He knows the way home. 20:28 I've never made a fortune. 20:35 And it's probably too late now. 20:42 Oh, but I don't worry about that much, 20:48 'cause I'm happy anyhow. 20:55 As I go along life's journey, 21:02 I'm reaping better than I've sowed. 21:11 I'm drinking from my saucer 21:16 'cause my cup has overflowed. 21:20 Ain't that good?
