Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play till the evening sun would come
|
Then winding down that old familiar pathway I heard my mother call at set of sun
|
Come home come home it's suppertime the shadows lengthen fast
|
Come home come home it's suppertime we're going home at last
|
|
Some of my fondest memories of my childhood are woven around suppertime
|
When my mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homeplace
|
She said come home son it's suppertime oh what I'd have to hear that one more time
|
But you know time has woven a realization of truth that is even more thrilling
|
And that's when we get that call from the greatest glory to come home on suppertime
|
When all of God's children gather around the table with the love of himself
|
And we'll celebrate the greatest suppertime of all
|
Come home come home...
