[Verse One] Lately I've been longing for heaven Lately I've been wanting to go To the place where tears are forgotten To the land where living waters flow
NOTE: There is another Homesick for Heaven that begins "I'm trying to travel, the pathway that's straight, Each day brings me closer to the beautiful gate...". 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".
