Story Behind the Song
Revelations 21
The description of our new home in heaven brings to mind a peaceful, tranquil, joyful and comfortable place. In our lives on earth we are faced with wars and rumors of wars. Neighbor against neighbor, family against family, the fear of gangs and gang activity. There is coming a day when the lion will lay down with the child, and all will be beautiful, peaceful and wonderful. Things that are impossible for man to achieve, but only possible from an Almighty God to receive.
Lyrics
“That Sounds Like Home To Me”
Verse 1: Somewhere, just across the Jordan River,
There is a place of everlasting joy and peace;
Where the Tree of Life is blooming, there forever,
And the Crown of Life is waiting there for me.
Chorus: Now that sounds like home to me,
Like where I want to be,
There’ll be no tears – to fill our eyes again;
The hills will echo with the story,
As we sing of His grace and glory,
Where the saints of God will be,
That sounds like home to me.
Verse 2: Now they say there’s mansions there, inside this city,
And that a crystal river flows right by – the tree of life;
No pain, no disappointments there will hurt us,
And Jesus, Himself, will be the light.
