A Heartbeat From Home

 

He was marked and scorned and

Crowned with thorns

But He showed the love of God above

As He hung there willingly.

He said unto the thief that day

That was hanging by His side,

“My father’s waiting at the door

Soon we’ll be in Paradise.”

We’ll be home in a heartbeat

We’ll be home in a heartbeat

For we’re only a heartbeat from home.

There was a mighty man of God

Stephen was his name.

He served the Lord with faithfulness

And did God’s love proclaim

One day they stoned him as he knelt

And called upon the Lord

But Jesus said, “Come home my child

For great is thy reward”

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

For you’re only a heartbeat from home.

A precious saint beloved by all

Was injured in a fall

Now living in a nursing home

To weak to walk at all.

So “Granny” cries unto the Lord

At the ending of each day

“How long before I can go home?”

And then she heard Him say,

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

For you’re only a heartbeat from home.

Oh, sinner is you’re heart prepared

To hear the Savior’s call

His precious blood was shed for you

Salvation is for all.

A mansion He’s prepared for you.

A heavenly home on high.

And when your life on earth is thou

You’ll meet Him in the sky.

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

You’ll be home in a heartbeat

For you’re only a heartbeat from home.
