Home Far Away Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Oh lord have mercy on this weary soul of mine 

May I walk in your light everyday 

And when I've crossed that deep silent river 

I'll be happy in that home far away 

I wandered away from the straight and the narrow 

Driftin' like a ship lost at sea 

No lighthouse to guide my weary footsteps 

Til Jesus answered my plea 

The lights are bright no longer I'm blinded 

From the bondage of sin I'm free 

He lifted me up to join salvation 

I'll live on eternally
