[Verse 1] The road’s been long, the night’s been deep, But morning light is near. The Shepherd’s voice now calls my name, And every doubt grows clear. This world behind, my heart’s been led, By grace through every tread— And now I see the promise true: My home is just ahead. [Chorus] Home is just ahead, Where sorrow’s tears are shed no more. Home where love forever stands, On that bright and peaceful shore. No pain, no night, no fear, no dread— I hear the songs of those who’ve fled, And I can almost see the gates of light— My home is just ahead. [Verse 2] The city gleams with streets of gold, No sun, for God is there. The saints of old and loved ones gone Now breathe the same pure air. Each prayer I prayed, each word He said, Now gently fills my stead— And I will run that final mile, My home is just ahead. [Chorus] Home is just ahead, Where sorrow’s tears are shed no more. Home where love forever stands, On that bright and peaceful shore. No pain, no night, no fear, no dread— I hear the songs of those who’ve fled, And I can almost see the gates of light— My home is just ahead. [Bridge (soft female echo)] He wipes away my every tear, No death, no pain, no parting here. Behold, He makes all things new— The promise old, forever true. [Final Chorus (key change, orchestral build)] Home is just ahead, Where sorrow’s tears are shed no more. Home where love forever stands, On that bright and peaceful shore. I’ll rest my heart where angels tread, And see my Savior as He said— The journey’s done, my soul is led— My home is just ahead. (Tag, gentle piano close) My home… is just ahead.
