Almost Home sung by Dr. Ralph Stanley
For many long years, I've traveled this road
I'm weary and tired of carrying this load
So often I'm tempted with Satan to bear
But I'm too near Home to turn back now
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
I know my race is nearly run
I know my race is nearly run
Through trouble and sorrow I've already come
Through troubles and sorrow I've already come
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home
As I stand by the river, that Homeland I see
That beautiful Mansion that He built for me
Just a few days to linger, and I'll go across
I know what awaits me, will be worth all the cost
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
I know my race is nearly run
I know my race is nearly run
Through trouble and sorrow I've already come
Through troubles and sorrow I've already come
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home
When my labor on earth I must lay down
I'll go to receive my Beautiful Crown
It's "goodbye" my friends, I've met on my way
I'll meet them again on that Homecoming Day!
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
Almost Home, I'm almost Home
I know my race is nearly run
I know my race is nearly run
Through trouble and sorrow I've already come
Through troubles and sorrow I've already come
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home
I can't turn back now, for I'm too near Home....
