It's Homecoming Sunday

Verse 1 Gravel crunchin’ in the parking lot That old wooden door still creaks a lot That little white frame church up on the hill Looks just like it always will Fried chicken in a paper plate Sister Deb brought that chocolate cake Kids run wild while the old folks laugh And somebody’s fannin’ in the back Grandma’s Bible’s worn and thin Names inside from way back when Chorus We didn’t come just to remember We came ‘cause He’s still alive Same Savior, same power Same crimson blood applied From the brush arbor meetin’s To this choir singin’ now This church is still standin’ On holy ground It’s homecoming Sunday And He’s why… we’ve gathered round Verse 2 There’s a picture hangin’ in the hall Of the first revival during a windy day in fall Saw dust floor and a borrowed tent That’s where half this county got heaven-sent Old men cry when they sing Amazing Grace You can still feel His glory in this place Baptism water still runs cold And that same saving story’s still being told Years may come and years may go But that old-time power still flows Chorus We didn’t come just to remember We came ‘cause He’s still alive Same Savior, same power Same crimson blood applied From the brush arbor meetin’s To this choir singin’ now This church is still standin’ On holy ground It’s homecoming Sunday And He’s why… we’ve gathered round Bridge One day there’ll be a table spread Where no more tears will ever be shed No more empty chairs to see Just the Lamb and our eternal family Chorus Oh it’s homecoming Sunday Some are missin’ from these pews today But we’ll see their faces again They’re all shoutin’ round that throne right now While we’re singin’ on this holy ground From generation unto generation Mercy’s carried us along It’s homecoming in this old church And one day we’ll all be at home Yeah it’s homecoming in this old church… But there’s a greater happening now… And the same Jesus who kept us here… Is one day gonna lead us home… To that eternal homecoming up there…
