THE DAY I GET HOME
Amy Keffer Shellem & Kelly Garner
VERSE 1
With her hand on her bible
She stood throughout the years
And taught the old-time gospel
Through all life's toils and tears
With her body worn and feeble
This warrior of the faith
Would often long for heaven
I can still hear her say
CHORUS
On the day I get home
When I finally see Jesus
I'll lay down my trials
And trade a cross for a crown
Freedom from suffering
Is something I've never known
But I'll know what it's like
On the day I get home
VERSE 2
When the long night has ended
And we see the break of dawn
Every saint who's fought the battle
Will sing a glorious song
I'll join that mighty chorus
When I shout the victory
I will give up my burdens
In that city built for me
CHORUS
BRIDGE
What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
When I look upon his face
The one who saved me by his grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me to the promise land
What a day glorious day that will be
CHORUS
