Almost Home
by Irvin Rozier I preach at a nursing home to just a few They sit in wheelchairs instead of a pew Most are disabled and sick in many ways But the glory comes down as many prays I look out and see tears streaming down faces As their hearts longs for the heavenly places Soon they will walk on those golden streets And see the place where the angel choir meets They clap their hands as we sing "I'll Fly Away" Maybe some will go to be with Jesus this very day Everyone attending was once a little girl or boy I am sure they were their parents' pride and joy Now their twilight years are here And the end of their life is very near Soon they will lay their burdens down And go receive their well earned crown Copyright 2008 Irvin L.
