You're Not Home Yet

Beautiful isle of somewhere If you've got two or three minutes I'd like to tell you a story And this a story about a preacher And I know there's a lot of stories about a lot of preachers But this is a story of one particular preacher Who went overseas to fight a war And this was a war for God and not for any one country And he fought a long hard fight and he won a lot of souls But this preacher got old and he was coming home Now he just happened to be on the same ship With what some of us call a celebrity And when the boat docked There were thousands of people waiting To meet the celebrity And they carried him off on their shoulders But there was no one there To meet the old preacher And he looked up and he said "Lord did you forget?" Well, it seemed like the Heavens just broke open And the Lord said, "No son I didn't forget But you must remember You're not home yet" You're not home, you're not home You're not home yet I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing "There'll be a crowd to meet you A choir of angels to greet you I didn't forget but son You're not home yet"
