You're Not Home Yet - Merle Haggard[00:00:00]
Beautiful isle of somewhere[00:00:09]
If you've got two or three minutes[00:00:20]
I'd like to tell you a story[00:00:23]
And this a story about a preacher[00:00:25]
And I know there's a lot of stories[00:00:29]
About a lot of preachers[00:00:31]
But this is a story of one particular preacher[00:00:35]
Who went overseas to fight a war[00:00:39]
And this was a war for God[00:00:43]
And not for any one country[00:00:47]
And he fought a long hard fight[00:00:50]
And he won a lot of souls[00:00:52]
But this preacher got old and he was coming home[00:00:57]
Now he just happened to be on the same ship[00:01:03]
With what some of us call a celebrity[00:01:05]
And when the boat docked[00:01:11]
There were thousands of people waiting[00:01:14]
To meet the celebrity[00:01:15]
And they carried him off on their shoulders[00:01:19]
But there was no one there[00:01:23]
To meet the old preacher[00:01:25]
And he looked up and he said[00:01:29]
"Lord did you forget "[00:01:30]
Well it seemed like the Heavens just broke open[00:01:36]
And the Lord said "No son I didn't forget[00:01:38]
But you must remember[00:01:47]
You're not home yet"[00:01:49]
You're not home you're not home[00:01:51]
You're not home yet[00:01:56]
I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing[00:02:00]
"There'll be a crowd to meet you[00:02:10]
A choir of angels to greet you[00:02:15]
I didn't forget but son[00:02:20]
You're not home yet"[00:02:25]
