Selah Nearing Home song lyrics

The Lord had a plan

for a Carolina man

to share the gospel truth throughout the land

His hardest sacrifice

is leaving kids and wife in the safety of

the Father's loving hands

From sea to shining sea

they'd come to hear him preach,

and see him walk the walk of which he'd speak

At the end of each crusade

his thoughts would drift away

up that winding mountain road to family

He's nearing home,

nearing home,

nearing home

Princes and kings,

they came from miles to seek him

to hear the wisdom of the word of God

People far and wide

were born into new life when he proclaimed the simple story of the cross

His wife of sixty years

she's no longer here

He's weary and his eyes are growing dim

Time has taken it's toll

on his body, but his soul

is stronger now

than it's ever been

He's nearing home,

nearing home,

nearing home

He's nearing home,

nearing home,

nearing home

It's the end of this crusade,

he'll soon be on his way

He's nearing home,

nearing home
