Question
Good day,
I surely hope you would be able to help me obtain the lyrics of a song I heard on our local radio - I don't know the name of the song or artist -I partially remember the chorus, as follow -
I'm home, my journey has ended
I'm home.......... is completed
.........
............
..............are my reward.

I know it's not much to work from and would certainly appreciate you kind efforts.

Kindest regards
Nadia


Answer
That's a hard one Nadia ... But here are a few suggestions:

I'M HOME SICK FOR HEAVEN by (calvinclark.com)

                    I

I'M TRYING TO TRAVEL, THE PATH WAY 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 HOME SICK TO GO.
TO A LAND WITHOUT HEART-ACHES, NO SORROW OR WOE.
THERE'S NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, IN THIS WORLD BELOW.
I'M HOME SICK FOR HEAVEN I'VE GOT A LONGING TO GO.

                  II

FIRST I WANT TO SEE MY SAVIOUR WHO SAVED ME FROM SIN,
AND HEAR HIS WELL DONE, AS HE WELCOMES ME IN.
THEN I WANT TO SEE MY MOTHER, SHE'S BEEN GONE SO LONG.
SHE SAID SHE'D BE WAITING, TO WELCOME ME HOME.

                  III

WHEN I'VE PRAYED MY LAST PRAYER, AND I'VE SUNG MY LAST SONG.
AND THE DEATH ANGEL WHISPERS, IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.
THEN IT'S GOOD-BYE TO LOVED ONES, WHOM I'VE MET ON MY WAY.
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN ON THAT HOME COMING DAY.


I'M LONGING FOR HOME (calvinclark.com)

               I

I'M ONLY A PILGRIM AND A STRANGER
IN THIS UNFRIENDLY WORLD I ROAM.
SERVING HIM WHO HAS BROUGHT ME FROM DARKNESS
AND PROMISED ME A HEAVENLY HOME.
OF HIS WONDERFUL LOVE I'M TELLING
WHERE EVER IN THIS WORLD I MAY BE.
TO THE SAVIOR WHO SUFFERED FOR ME.

              II

SOON MY LABOR ON EARTH WILL BE ENDED
I'LL BE LEAVING THIS OLD WORLD SOMEDAY.
I'LL BE LEAVING THE DARK VEIL OF SHADOWS
TO A LAND THAT IS BETTER THEY SAY.
WE READ OF A PLACE IN THE BIBLE
WHO'S BUILDER IS JESUS WE'RE TOLD.
SOMEDAY THIS WORLD TENT WILL BE FOLDED
AND THE BEAUTIFUL SCENES WILL UNFOLD.

            CHORUS

I'M LONGING FOR HOME ...
FOR THE SUNS GOING DOWN ...
I LONG TO GO WHERE ...
SWEET REST CAN BE FOUND ...
I'M JUST ABOUT THROUGH ...
WITH THIS OLD HOUSE OF CLAY ...
I'LL BE LEAVING THIS WORLD ...
FOR GLORY SOMEDAY ...

The Return by Isenburg
Restless years of travels behind,
My bones are weak and old.
No place like home i see for years,
But now it's time to return.

From north to south, from hell and back,
Not even knowing what to search.
Maybe the aim was to return
And see the treasures of my homeland.

On this ground my journey will end.
Here my spirit will rest till the day of my return.

My soil below,
The terminal breath.
I'm home again,
My final rest.


Hope this helps some.
