Homesick for Heaven

Written by: L.D. Huffstutler
Language: English
Comments: aka "I'm Homesick for Heaven"
I'm trying to travel, the pathway that's straight
Each day brings me closer to the beautiful gate
When I lay down my burdens, receive a bright crown
Preparing to live in that heavenly home

CHORUS
I've got a longing, I'm homesick to go
To a land without heartaches, no sorrow or woe
There's nothing but trouble in this world below
I'm homesick for heaven, I've got a longing to go

NOTE: There is another Homesick for Heaven that begins "Lately I've been longing for heaven, Lately I've been wanting to go...". There is also an unrelated contemporary christian song of the same name by Jim Brady. In fact, there are multiple songs of this name. In 1930, the McCravy Brothers recorded a different song by Johnson Oatman callled "I'm Homesick for Heaven Tonight".
