I
FOR YEARS I'VE HEARD SINGING,
THAT HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
AND MANY PEOPLE WANT TO GO BACK HOME.
OH BUT I'VE HAD A LONGING, TO GO TO BE WITH JESUS.
AND I KNOW IF I COULD BE WITH HIM.
I'D NEVER WANT TO ROAM.
II
NOW IF HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, THEN I KNOW MY HOMES WITH JESUS.
MY HEART IS LONGING TO BE BY HIS SIDE.
DOWN HERE I HAVE NO EARTHLY TREASURES.
AND I SEEK NO EARTHLY PLEASURES.
BUT MY JESUS SAID THAT I COULD HAVE A MANSION IN THE SKY.
CHORUS
SO IF HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, THEN I HAVE THE BLESSED ASSURANCES.
WHERE I'M GOING WILL BE A PARADISE.
DOWN HERE I'VE LIVED SO MANY PLACES, AND I'M TIRED OF ALWAYS MOVING.
BUT I'M GOING WHERE MY HEART HAS BEEN,
SINCE I GAVE IT TO CHRIST.
