Lyrics
The old man is sitting
In his ancient rocking chair
He is ready to go
Yes, he's ready to go
He has lived his life
And he is prepared
For his final journey
It's time to go home
He knows that
It's time to go home
He accepts that
It's his
Time to go home
He can't wait to
Go home
Because he knows that
His place is reserved in heaven
And God will be waiting for him
God will be calling him soon
And he is glad that
He will get to go home
He anticipates the reception
He will receive
In God's kingdom
And the wonderful time
He will have
When he goes home
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It is this man's
Time to go home
The rocking chair has stopped rocking
The old man is drifting away
He is getting
Closer to home
With each passing minute
God is scheduling his people's
Time to go home
All people have a specific time
At which
They will go home
Are you prepared for
Your time to go home
It's best to be ready
Because the trip can be over
Faster than you expect
And you can be home
In the blink of an eye
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It is this man's time to go home
The rocking chair stopped rocking
The old man is drifting away
He is getting closer to home
Now it's time to go home
