You're Not Home Yet Lyrics

(Hank Cochran)

(Beautiful life, beautiful life, beautiful life out somewhere.)

If you've got a couple of minutes I'd like to tell you a story
It's a story about a preacher
Oh, I know there's lotsa stories about a lotta preachers
But this story I wanna tell you is about a protectoral preacher.

Who went over seas who went away to fight a war
A war forgot and he fought long he won lots of souls
But he grew old and he was on a boat coming home
And just by chance on this same boat there was a so called celebrity.

It seems when the boat dockedJimmy Dean - You're Not Home Yet - http://motolyrics.com/jimmy-dean/youre-not-home-yet-lyrics.html
There were hundreds of people there to greet the celebrity
Shake his hand and praise him and take his picture
And not one person there to greet the old preacher.

There this a young fellow walked down
Cast his eyes to the skies and says God did you forget
And it seemed that a voice inside that old preacher said no son I didn't forget
But you must remember you're not home yet.

You're not home you're not home you're not home yet
I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing
There'll be a crowd to greet you a choir of angels to meet you
I didn't forget but you're not home yet.

No fellow I didn't forget but you're not home yet...
