Going Home For Christmas |
Her house was where the family gathered every Christmas eve; |
A feast was set on the table and gifts were placed beneath the tree |
Everything was picture perfect, Grandpa would laugh and say |
That woman spends the whole year getting ready for this day |
One year the leaves began to fall and her health began to fade; |
We moved her to a place where they could watch her night and day |
But she kept making plans for Christmas from her little room; |
She told everyone, I’ll miss you but I’ll be leaving soon |
I’m going home for Christmas and I’m going home to stay; |
I’m going home for Christmas and nothing’s gonna keep me away |
I’ll be with the ones I love to celebrate the Savior’s birth; |
This gift will be worth more to me than anything on earth |
I’m going home, home for Christmas |
All the leaves outside have fallen to be covered by the snow; |
The family comes with food and gifts and Grandpa comes alone |
There’s a sadness in our silence as the Christmas story’s read |
And with tears, Grandpa reminds us of the words that Grandma said |
I’m going home for Christmas and I’m going home to stay; |
I’m going home for Christmas and nothing’s gonna keep me away |
She’ll be face to face with Jesus as we celebrate His birth |
And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth |
'Cause she’ll be home |
And as we sing 'Joy to the World' I can’t help thinking |
Of the joy that’s in her eyes right now |
And though our hearts still ache, we know that as we celebrate |
She’s singing with the herald angels and heaven’s glowing on her face |
And now she’s home for Christmas and now she’s home to stay; |
She’s home for Christmas, and nothin' could’ve kept her away |
She’ll be face to face with Jesus, as we celebrate His birth |
And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth |
She’s home, she’s home for Christmas |
She is home, she’s home for Christmas |
