With tears in my eyes, I prayed to you that night
Dear Lord, please help her to be alright
You looked down from above and you answered me with love
And gave us the gift of life
Until you call me home, I'll follow your footsteps
I'll do my very best to take the narrow road
Until you call me home, I'll glorify your name
I'll never be the same, dear Lord, till you call me home
Oh twenty years have slipped on by since I prayed to you that night
And my wife and I are getting along just fine
And as we stumble, all we do is lift our eyes up towards you
And you lead us once again with your guiding light
Until you call me home, I'll follow your footsteps
I'll do my very best to take the narrow road
Until you call me home, I'll glorify your name
I'll never be the same, dear Lord, till you call me home
When I meet you face to face, and all the angels take their place
And I stand before you, I hope I hear you say
Your job on earth is done, and I'm well pleased with you, my son
You call on me and praise my holy name
Until you call me home, I'll follow your footsteps
I'll do my very best to take the narrow road
Until you call me home, I'll glorify your name
No, I'll never be the same, dear Lord, till you call me home
Dear Lord, till you call me home
