There’s something about a home
That makes it more than a house;
It’s where family, love and laughter
And where memories amount.
It’s a priceless type of living
And although money may be scarce,
There’s joy with hope combined
Where people show their love and care.
It’s the simplicity within
With their genuine type of ways,
That builds relationships
Where a legacy remains.
It’s the tests and the trials
With the frustrations as well,
But where character is built
And where sincerity will dwell.
It’s the uniqueness of each member
With the talents that they share;
It’s the coming to understand
That there are benefits so rare.
Our home is our castle
When we desire stability,
With the warmth that is combined
Where fruitful gatherings we see.
And although it’s temporary
We do know deep down within,
That it’s our eternal home we crave;
The one we desire to move in.
Our eternal home is our mansion
Where all strivings they will cease;
And where all sin is eliminated;
Where endless blessings are released.
It’s there that our permanent residence
By the Lord is guaranteed,
When He becomes our Lord and Savior
And where His promises we see.
