Stanley Brothers - Home Far Away lyrics

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine

May I walk in your light everyday

And when I've crossed that deep silent river

I'll be happy in that home far away

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow

Driftin' like a ship lost at sea

No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps

Til Jesus answered my plea

The lights are bright no longer I'm blinded

From the bondage of sin I'm free

He lifted me up to join salvation

I'll live on eternally
