I've been travelin' here in this life With its heartaches, troubles and strife Sometimes satan tries to tell me to turn aside I say, "Satan, get thee behind me" No returnin' in me you'll find I'm too near my heavenly home, where I'll abide There is joy goin' this way, it gets sweeter everyday My dear Lord is leadin' the way to realms above He'll be with me until the end Be my Savior, Guide and my Friend I'll arrive into Heaven, a home of perfect love I'm too near home with my Lord To miss sweet Heaven's reward I'm not (and I am not) returnin' to sin I have made my vow! See, there's nothing to go back to Oh, praise God, Heaven's in view I'm too near my heavenly home And I'll not turn back now I'm too near home with my Lord To miss sweet Heaven's reward I'm not (and I am not) returnin' to sin I've made (I have made) my vow! Oh, there's nothing to go back to Oh, praise God, Heaven's in view I'm too near my heavenly home And I'll not turn back now (not turn back now) I'm too near home with my Lord To miss sweet Heaven's reward I'm not (and I am not) returnin' to sin I've made (I have made) my vow! There's nothing to go back to Oh, praise God, Heaven's in view I'm too near my heavenly home And I'll not turn back now (turn back now)
