Nearing Home

The Lord had a plan
 for a Carolina man
 to share the gospel truth throughout the land
 His hardest sacrifice
 is leaving kids and wife in the safety of
 the Father's loving hands
 ♪
 From sea to shining sea
 they'd come to hear him preach,
 and see him walk the walk of which he'd speak
 At the end of each crusade
 his thoughts would drift away
 up that winding mountain road to family
 He's nearing home,
 nearing home,
 nearing home
 ♪
 Princes and kings,
 they came from miles to seek him
 to hear the wisdom of the word of God
 People far and wide
 were born into new life when he proclaimed the simple story of the cross
 ♪
 His wife of sixty years
 she's no longer here
 He's weary and his eyes are growing dim
 Time has taken it's toll
 on his body, but his soul
 is stronger now
 than it's ever been
 He's nearing home,
 nearing home,
 nearing home
 He's nearing home,
 nearing home,
 nearing home
 It's the end of this crusade,
 he'll soon be on his way
 He's nearing home,
 nearing home
