Calling My Children Home - Live

Those lives were mine to love and cherish
 To guard and guide along life's way
 Oh God, forbid that one should perish
 That one alas should go astray.
 Back in the years with all together
 Around the place we'd romp and play
 So lonely now and oft times wonder
 Oh, will they come back home some day.
 I'm lonesome for my precious children
 They live so far away
 Oh, may they hear my calling, calling
 And come back home some day.
 I gave my all for my dear children
 Their problems still with love, I share
 I'd brave life's storm, defy the tempest
 To bring them home from anywhere.
 I lived my life, my love I gave them
 To guide them through this world of strife
 I hope and pray we'll live together
 In that great glad here after life.
 I'm lonesome for my precious children
 They live so far away
 Oh, may they hear my calling, calling
 And come back home some day...
