I'm Too Near Home
by The Perrys

Album: Remembering The Happy Goodmans

I've been traveling here in this life
With its heartache, trouble and strife
Sometimes Satan tries to tell me
To turn aside
I say, "Satan, get thee behind
No returning in me you'll find
I'm too near my heavenly home
Where I'll abide"

I'm too near home with my Lord
(I'm too near home with my Lord)
Too miss sweet heaven's reward
(Too near home in heaven's reward)
I'm not returning to sin
(I am not returning to sin)
I've made my vow
(I have made my vow)
There's nothing to go back to
(There is nothing to go back to)
Oh, praise God, heaven's in view
(Praise the Lord, sweet heaven's in view)
I'm too near heaven my home
(I'm too near my heavenly home)
And I'm not turning back now
(To turn back now)

There is joy in going this way
It gets sweeter everyday
My dear Lord is leading the way
To realms above
He'll be with me until the end
Be my Savior, Guide and my Friend
I'll arrive in heaven my home
Of perfect love

I'm too near home with my Lord
(I'm too near home with my Lord)
Too miss sweet heaven's reward
(Too near home in heaven's reward)
I'm not returning to sin
(I am not returning to sin)
I've made my vow
(I have made my vow)
There's nothing to go back to
(There is nothing to go back to)
Oh, praise God, heaven's in view
(Praise the Lord, sweet heaven's in view)
I'm too near heaven my home
(I'm too near my heavenly home)
And I'm not turning back now
(To turn back now)

I'm too near home with my Lord
(I'm too near home with my Lord)
Too miss sweet heaven's reward
(Too near home in heaven's reward)
I'm not returning to sin
(I am not returning to sin)
I've made my vow
(I have made my vow)
There's nothing to go back to
(There is nothing to go back to)
Oh, praise God, heaven's in view
(Praise the Lord, sweet heaven's in view)
I'm too near heaven my home
(I'm too near my heavenly home)
And I'm not turning back now
(To turn back now)

I'm too near my heavenly home
And I'm not turning back now
