G                                 C                                          G    C

    When I close my eyes, I see a not so distant land

G                                               C                                              G   C

   I can see an approaching shore and see You standing there

G                                          C                                     G  C

   Lord, I see Your smiling face as You beckon to me

        G                       Em               C                              D

            Home shores, homeland, prepared by Your hand

G                         C        Em                                        D

   Homeward bound – I am traveling home to You

G                       C         Em                                               D

   Homeward bound – nothing will ever stop me now

G                        C        Em                                                 D

   Homeward bound – I have seen my home with You

G                        C        Em                                           D      G - C

   Homeward bound – I will be there one day soon

G                                        C                           G   C

   My heart longs for my eternal home with You

G                                                      C                     G   C

   In my mind’s eye I can see You calling me to You

G                                   C                                    G   C

   With Your arms outstretched, ready to embrace

        G                       Em             C                     D

            Home shores, homeland, homeward bound

G                                        C                         G     C

   I have seen the land of promises and dreams

G                                                         C                  G    C

   It’s a land of milk and honey and everything I need

G                                     C                              G   C

   It’s a place where no darkness or sorrow lies

G                                                   C                                  G   C

   The home of my dreams, it’s everything I’ve hoped for

G                                     C                            G              C

   It’s a home of all joy, peace and rest in You, Lord

G                              C                                        G    C

   Our house is the dwelling place of perfect love

        G                       Em               C                    D

            Home shores, homeland, homeward bound

       Em                               C       

            No eye has seen, nor ear has heard

        C                                              Em

           What You, Lord, have prepared for us

        Em                                      C

            No mind can comprehend or understand

                       D                                C           D

           What You have done for us – for us
