When the eastern sky breaks open and the trumpet shall sound
All God's children will gather first the ones that's in the ground
There'll be shouting and a singing and praising His name
When the Lord returns on homecoming day

There's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day
When all God's children are lifted away
And they'll be carried on to heaven where they will stay
It's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day

I've made my reservation the fare has been paid
I'm counting down the minutes the hours and the days
I'm listening ever listening for my Lord to say
Come on home my children it's homecoming day

There's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day
When all God's children are lifted away
And they'll be carried on to heaven where they will stay
It's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day

There's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day
When all God's children are lifted away
And they'll be carried on to heaven where they will stay
It's gonna be a Hallelujah Homecoming Day
