I'm Coming Home (Tell Heaven) Lyrics
Tell heaven
Now you tell heaven
I am coming
I’m coming on home
Oh, one day
Just tell my heaven, my heavenly king
Just tell him that I’m coming on the morning train
Tell heaven
Whoa-oh, tell heaven
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell heaven I’m coming on home one day
Tell my father
Now you tell father
I am coming
I’m coming on home
Oh, one day
Well I've been 'buked, Lord, I've been scorned
Yeah, I have been talked about, sure as you born
Tell father
Whoa, whoa, tell father
I am coming
Yeah, I'll be a' home one day
Tell father I'm coming on home one day
Whoa, the river
Lord knows the river
Where the sun
That evening sun
Will never go down
Cross on my shoulder, sword in my hand
I’m going down fighting in Jesus' name
Whoa, the river
Whoa, whoa, the river
Where the sun
That evening sun go down
Lord know the sun will never go down
I'm gonna choose
Lord I'm gonna choose
Choose my seat
Gonna choose my seat
And sit down
Lord I'm gonna choose my seat and sit down
Gonna have my love from a starry crown
Then I'm gonna write my Lord a letter
Gonna tell him this world ain't getting no better
Then I'm gonna call him on my phone
Tell Jesus "I need you in my home"
Tell heaven
Yeah-ay tell heaven
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell heaven I’m coming on home one day
Lord my burden
Lord knows my burden
Seems so heavy
So hard to bear
Hard to bear
Lord knows my burdens seem hard to bear
Lord when I get to heaven I got a crown to wear
Whoa, my burden
Whoa-oh, my burden
Seems so heavy
Lord know so hard to bear
You know my burden seems hard to bear
Tell my mother
Now you tell mother
I am coming
I’m coming on home
Oh, one day
Just tell my mother now don’t she cry
She know her little child was born to die
Tell mother
Whoa-oh, tell mother
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell mother I’m coming on home one day
I haven't been to heaven but I've been told
That streets in heaven, they shone like gold
Tell heaven
Whoa-oh, tell heaven
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell heaven I’m coming on home one day
Now you tell heaven
I am coming
I’m coming on home
Oh, one day
Just tell my heaven, my heavenly king
Just tell him that I’m coming on the morning train
Whoa-oh, tell heaven
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell heaven I’m coming on home one day
Now you tell father
I am coming
I’m coming on home
Oh, one day
Well I've been 'buked, Lord, I've been scorned
Yeah, I have been talked about, sure as you born
Whoa, whoa, tell father
I am coming
Yeah, I'll be a' home one day
Tell father I'm coming on home one day
Lord knows the river
Where the sun
That evening sun
Will never go down
Cross on my shoulder, sword in my hand
I’m going down fighting in Jesus' name
Whoa, whoa, the river
Where the sun
That evening sun go down
Lord know the sun will never go down
Lord I'm gonna choose
Choose my seat
Gonna choose my seat
And sit down
Lord I'm gonna choose my seat and sit down
Gonna have my love from a starry crown
Then I'm gonna write my Lord a letter
Gonna tell him this world ain't getting no better
Then I'm gonna call him on my phone
Tell Jesus "I need you in my home"
Yeah-ay tell heaven
I am coming
Hey, I'll be a' home one day
Tell heaven I’m coming on home one day
Lord knows my burden

Lord when I get to heaven I got a crown to wear
Whoa-oh, my burden

That streets in heaven, they shone like gold
Whoa-oh, tell heaven
