Gone Home-sung by Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder
From the Album, Soldier of the Cross
The war images are from the Battle of the Bulge. The scenic images are from the Ardennes and Belgium. There will be another special Blog post for Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day.
All of my friends that I loved yesterday
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one by one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
Life here is lonely since they've gone before
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The old weeping willow that stands by the door
Sadly says (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one by one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The trumpet will sound on that Great Judgment day
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
We'll see all our friends that have gone on that way
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walking the streets of pure gold
They left one by one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home...)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when he rose up from the grave? Were you there when he rose up from the grave? Ooh. sometimes it causes me to tremble Were you there when he rose up from the grave?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble Were you there when they crucified my Lord?.
