I woke up one morning
With heaven on my mind
'Coz you don't hear too many people
Talking about it anymore
When I was growing up
That's all we talked about
Every Sunday, we looked forward
Talking about heaven
You see, my heart longs
For a place that I'm going to spend eternity
I wanna' sing this song to you
About where I'm going
I don't know about you
But I want you to follow me
I want you to go with me
Oh yeah, mmm
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
Far away
Where I can not see
HE's making preparations
To welcome me home
What a homecoming
That's gonna' be
Oh, I wanna say it again
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
Far away
Where I can not see
HE's making preparations
To welcome me home
What a homecoming
That's gonna' be
Oh, LORD, I
Traded all my heartaches
For a crown of pure gold
I traded all my tears
For a shining white robe
I'm gonna' rest my weary feet
In the River that runs
Pure and deep
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
Far away
Where I can not see
HE's making preparations
To welcome me home
What a homecoming
That's gonna' be
Set your house in order
Make sure everything's alright
Because I've traded all my darkness
For GOD's pure light
Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
And don't give up the fight
'Coz I hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
My, my, my
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
Far away
Where I can not see
HE's making preparations
To welcome me home
What a homecoming
That's gonna' be
Ooh, what a homecoming
That's gonna' be
My mother will be waiting on me
And my father too
My sisters and brothers (sisters and brothers)
Will be waiting on me too
(What a homecoming) No more burdens
(That's gonna' be) No more cross to bear
No more tears and heartaches
Will be there
Nothing but joy (What a homecoming)
(That's gonna' be)
Oh, LORD, I just can't hardly wait sometimes
Oh, ooo
(What a homecoming)
(That's gonna' be) my, my, my
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
(One more time)
Can't you hear HIM calling
HE's calling for me
