when the world shall melt away
And Jesus shall come to claim His own
No more tears, no pain, no woe
in this wicked world below
Then will you be ready to go home?
Will you be ready to go, ready to go home,
to live with him up there
When he says, come unto me,
will your soul be clean and free?
Then will you be ready to go home?
In this world of greed and hate,
will you wait till it's too late
To claim the Savior for your own
Then will you be ready to go home?
Are you on the road that leads to Rome?
If you'll just travel in His light
And pray both day and night
Then you'll be ready to go home
