Going Home 4-12-1984

For Dad

It's time to come home
he heard a voice say.
You've suffered enough.
There's no need to stay.

But why should I go, Lord?
He cried out in fear.
My wife and my children,
my family's here.

Can I not stay here
to see them all grow...
They need me down here, Lord.
Oh, please, must I go?

I need you with me now
You've done all you can.
Don't fear for their needs,
for they're all in my hand.

I'll tend to them for you
I'll help them be strong...
So pass on your courage to them,
and Come Home.
