Verse 1 Morning breaks across the fields Coffee warms these weathered hands Another day, another breath Another gift I didn't plan There's work to do and love to give A stranger's smile, a neighbor's need If this is where You've planted me Then this is holy ground indeed Sometimes through the morning wind I hear a distant whistle sing Not calling me away today Just reminding me what's coming Chorus The last train home Has always been Closer than It seemed Each sunrise Each goodbye Brought me nearer All this time I was never Lost out here I was only Passing through When the last train home Finally comes It won't take me Somewhere new It'll carry me To You Verse 2 Hospital halls and whispered prayers Long nights waiting for the dawn Some tears never find their answers Still Your faithful love lives on Time can steal what hands can hold But never what Your grace has sealed Even broken hearts can bloom When they're resting in Your will So I'll keep sowing little seeds Though I may not see them rise The harvest isn't mine to own Only mine to trust with time Chorus The last train home Has always been Closer than It seemed Each sunrise Each goodbye Brought me nearer All this time I was never Lost out here I was only Passing through When the last train home Finally comes It won't take me Somewhere new It'll carry me To You Bridge I thought Heaven waited Somewhere past the horizon Now I know You were walking every mile In the silence In the laughter Through the valleys Through the climb Looking back I can finally see Mercy left its footprints Right beside mine No wasted sorrow No forgotten prayer No empty morning You were always there Chorus The last train home Has always been Closer than It seemed Every heartbeat Every season Led me nearer Without knowing Now the waiting Meets its ending Faith gives way To perfect sight When the last train home Finally comes I'll see the hands That carried mine And I'll know The road I walked Was leading home All along Outro Tomorrow comes I'll lace these boots Lift my eyes Walk in peace Love my neighbor Carry the cross Take one more step Until You call The last train home.
