Lyrics Nearing Home - Selah

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
