Lyrics
Well I see a light come shinin'
I hear a voice, amidst my cryin'
And I know, though Lord, so long I've strayed, still your love lights my way
Oh Lord, I pray that it's true
Somehow your love can see me through.
Well I hear a night time callin',
And I've seen the stars that's fallin'
And I know, though Lord I've strayed so far, in my heart I know just where you are
Oh Lord, I pray that you'll help me see,
That only you can set me free.
And I see a day, it's dawnin',
I know an end must come, Lord, to my longin',
If it's true,
Though Lord, we lose our way,
By and by, we'll understand some day,
If Lord, you'll only see it's true,
One day I'm comin' home to you.
