lyrics

How long must I stay
must I linger
must I lay
How long must I run
must I carry on and on
How long ‘til I know
‘til I know which way to go?
Come and take me home

How long must I pay
Must I wonder at the gate
How long must I fight
To stretch and strain to see the light
How long ‘til the dawn
‘til I hear you call my name
Lord, come and take me home
Oh Lord, come and take me home

Sitting on the banks of the Jordan
Waiting for the chariot to carry me home
Listen to the sound of the angels calling, calling, calling
Listen for the sound of the trumpet
Come one chariot carry me home
Carry us up to the mountain summit

Oh, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me home
Take me home
Come and take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me take me home
Take me home
Take me take me home
