"A penny for your thoughts,"
I said to the old man,
00:00:50.48\00:00:56.58
as He sat there on
the park bench all alone.
00:00:57.39\00:01:03.79
With silver hair,
wrinkled brow, eyes gleaming,
00:01:04.83\00:01:12.13
he smiled and said,
"I'm thinking about my home."
00:01:12.17\00:01:18.57
I sat down and we
shared some laughs together,
00:01:19.54\00:01:25.31
and the cinema of
remembrance, it did roll.
00:01:26.51\00:01:33.36
We talked about
life's gains and its losses,
00:01:34.19\00:01:41.60
but mostly we just
talked about his home.
00:01:41.63\00:01:48.14
He said, "I'm
thinking about home.
00:01:48.17\00:01:52.04
Thinking about going home.
00:01:52.07\00:01:55.68
Dreaming about leaving here.
00:01:55.71\00:01:59.28
Ready to be moving on.
00:01:59.31\00:02:03.95
It won't be long before the
sun will set and I'll be gone.
00:02:03.99\00:02:10.49
But until then, I'll
be thinking about home."
00:02:10.53\00:02:17.53
I said, "Tell me, old
man, where's your home
00:02:18.00\00:02:22.60
and what's it like?"
00:02:22.64\00:02:25.07
He said, "Oh, ain't nothing
round here that compares."
00:02:25.54\00:02:30.35
He said, "A king had it
built and gave the deed to me.
00:02:32.75\00:02:40.86
And all of God's
family will be there."
00:02:40.89\00:02:47.36
He said, "I'm
thinking about home.
00:02:47.66\00:02:51.53
Thinking about going home.
00:02:51.63\00:02:55.40
Dreaming about leaving here.
00:02:55.44\00:02:58.87
Ready to be moving on.
00:02:58.91\00:03:03.55
It won't be long before the
sun will set and I'll be gone.
00:03:03.58\00:03:10.19
But until then, I'll
be thinking about home."
00:03:10.22\00:03:18.19
It won't be long before the
sun will set and I'll be gone.
00:03:18.59\00:03:25.27
But until then, I'll
be thinking about home.
00:03:25.30\00:03:32.97
Thinking about home.
00:03:36.64\00:03:39.55
Thinking about my home.
00:03:43.45\00:03:52.69
I'm longing for a
place I've never been,
00:04:24.16\00:04:32.03
but it's a place
that I call my home,
00:04:32.60\00:04:40.08
where the sun is the
light in the midst of the night.
00:04:42.11\00:04:51.09
Heaven means home to me.
00:04:51.29\00:04:58.89
Heaven means home to me.
00:05:00.50\00:05:08.87
Where Jesus is, I want to be.
00:05:10.24\00:05:17.45
There's no dying up there,
this old earth can't compare.
00:05:18.11\00:05:26.99
That's why
heaven means home to me.
00:05:27.46\00:05:35.73
I've heard of a
beautiful city above,
00:05:47.11\00:05:55.22
with streets that
are paved with pure gold.
00:05:55.42\00:06:04.19
But my eyes are
fixed on Jesus my King.
00:06:05.69\00:06:13.60
That's why
heaven means home to me.
00:06:13.64\00:06:21.28
Heaven means home to me.
00:06:23.51\00:06:32.05
Where Jesus is, I want to be.
00:06:33.46\00:06:40.70
There's no dying up there,
this old earth can't compare.
00:06:40.90\00:06:50.34
That's why
heaven means home to me.
00:06:50.54\00:06:58.25
What a day that will be
when my Jesus I shall see.
00:07:00.02\00:07:08.76
And I look upon His face, the
One who saved me by His grace.
00:07:08.96\00:07:18.03
When He takes me by the hand
00:07:18.23\00:07:22.47
and leads me
through that promised land.
00:07:22.57\00:07:27.28
What a day,
glorious day, that will be.
00:07:27.31\00:07:35.78
There's no dying up there,
this old earth can't compare.
00:07:37.35\00:07:45.59
That's why
heaven means home to me.
00:07:45.99\00:07:55.90
I welcome the sunrise
as night turns to day.
00:08:29.64\00:08:36.04
Should I try again
or turn and walk away?
00:08:37.38\00:08:43.15
The journey to this
point seems so very hard,
00:08:44.92\00:08:51.29
yet I'm standing
praying right here in the yard.
00:08:52.56\00:08:59.13
The tears that I shed
don't seem like it's worth it,
00:08:59.17\00:09:06.11
yet I know You're on Your way.
00:09:07.88\00:09:14.02
Lord, lead me home.
00:09:15.75\00:09:20.72
There's no
place to run and hide,
00:09:22.39\00:09:26.39
You know what I keep inside.
00:09:26.43\00:09:30.60
Lord, lead me home.
00:09:30.90\00:09:36.44
I need to find a place to
rest, where life in You is best.
00:09:37.44\00:09:44.05
Lead me home.
00:09:44.08\00:09:49.55
I know I can trust
You, You never let me down.
00:09:53.62\00:10:00.26
I know that I need You,
You keep me off the ground.
00:10:01.03\00:10:08.34
Through disappointments
You say, "It's okay.
00:10:08.80\00:10:15.51
Child, I love you.
There will be a brighter day."
00:10:16.34\00:10:22.78
So I made up my
mind to keep on walking.
00:10:22.82\00:10:29.96
I'm pressing on the higher way.
00:10:30.79\00:10:39.13
Lord, lead me home.
00:10:39.53\00:10:45.17
For there's no
place to run and hide,
00:10:45.91\00:10:50.11
You know what I keep inside.
00:10:50.15\00:10:54.32
Lord, lead me home.
00:10:54.68\00:11:00.62
I need to find a place of
rest, where life in You is best.
00:11:01.02\00:11:07.83
Lead me home.
00:11:07.86\00:11:12.03
I'm going to trust
You ever more each day.
00:11:12.07\00:11:19.47
And I'm climbing
higher as I pray.
00:11:19.77\00:11:29.72
Lord, lead me home.
00:11:30.82\00:11:37.49
There's no
place to run and hide,
00:11:37.69\00:11:41.53
You know what I keep inside.
00:11:41.56\00:11:45.93
So Lord, lead me home.
00:11:45.97\00:11:52.57
I need to find a place of
rest, where life in You is best.
00:11:52.61\00:11:59.21
Lead me home.
00:11:59.25\00:12:04.19
I need to find a place of
rest, where life in You is best.
00:12:04.22\00:12:12.49
Lead me home.
00:12:13.50\00:12:20.07
Lord, lead me home.
00:12:20.17\00:12:29.98
One single drop of rain,
00:13:01.88\00:13:05.88
Your salty tear
became blue ocean.
00:13:05.91\00:13:13.19
And one tiny grain of sand
00:13:13.22\00:13:17.43
turning in your
hand, a world in motion.
00:13:17.89\00:13:25.03
You're out beyond the
furthest morning star,
00:13:25.83\00:13:31.67
close enough to
hold me in Your arms.
00:13:32.71\00:13:39.11
Adonai, I lift up my heart
00:13:39.61\00:13:47.39
and I cry.
00:13:47.69\00:13:52.09
My Adonai.
00:13:52.76\00:13:55.43
Maker of each moment,
00:13:55.76\00:13:59.10
Father of my hope and freedom.
00:13:59.30\00:14:05.11
Oh, my Adonai.
00:14:08.84\00:14:13.11
One timid faithful knock
00:14:18.22\00:14:21.36
resounds upon the Rock of Ages.
00:14:21.39\00:14:28.66
And one trembling heart and soul
00:14:28.70\00:14:32.73
becomes a servant
bold and courageous.
00:14:32.77\00:14:40.74
You call across the
mountains and the seas.
00:14:40.78\00:14:46.92
I answer from the
deepest part of me.
00:14:47.52\00:14:53.79
Adonai, I lift up my heart
00:14:54.09\00:15:01.40
and I cry.
00:15:01.60\00:15:06.13
My Adonai.
00:15:06.17\00:15:08.87
You are Maker of each moment,
00:15:08.90\00:15:12.61
Father of my hope and freedom.
00:15:12.87\00:15:19.48
Oh, my Adonai.
00:15:22.62\00:15:26.86
From age to age
You reign in Majesty.
00:15:29.52\00:15:37.63
And today You're
making miracles in me.
00:15:38.33\00:15:44.91
Adonai, I lift up my heart
00:15:44.94\00:15:52.05
and I cry.
00:15:52.08\00:15:56.62
My Adonai.
00:15:56.65\00:15:58.89
You are Maker of each moment,
00:15:58.92\00:16:02.79
Father of my hope and freedom.
00:16:02.82\00:16:12.13
Oh, my Adonai.
00:16:14.10\00:16:18.57
My Adonai.
00:16:21.88\00:16:26.41
My Adonai.
00:16:32.92\00:16:38.39
It does not
matter where you started.
00:16:56.24\00:17:04.19
But friend, it
matters where you end.
00:17:04.22\00:17:12.03
We're all walking slow forever,
00:17:12.46\00:17:20.00
and there's only one
road that leads to Him.
00:17:20.50\00:17:27.48
The way is
straight, the path is narrow,
00:17:28.48\00:17:36.38
and though sometimes
it seems we walk alone,
00:17:36.42\00:17:43.83
but an unseen hand
is there to lead us.
00:17:44.13\00:17:52.13
Just follow Jesus.
00:17:52.17\00:17:56.10
He knows the way home.
00:17:56.14\00:18:01.11
He never said we
would not suffer.
00:18:08.02\00:18:15.76
And He never said
that we'd fail no more.
00:18:16.16\00:18:24.23
He never said
we're spared the battle,
00:18:24.33\00:18:32.27
but He said He's
already won the war.
00:18:32.47\00:18:40.32
The way is
straight, the path is narrow,
00:18:40.35\00:18:48.49
and though sometimes
it seems we walk alone,
00:18:48.52\00:18:55.96
but an unseen hand
is there to lead us.
00:18:56.00\00:19:04.11
Just follow Jesus.
00:19:04.14\00:19:08.08
He knows the way home.
00:19:08.11\00:19:12.11
The way is
straight, the path is narrow,
00:19:12.51\00:19:20.42
and though sometimes
it seems we walk alone,
00:19:20.46\00:19:27.70
but an unseen hand
is there to lead us.
00:19:27.73\00:19:36.04
Just follow Jesus.
00:19:36.07\00:19:40.08
He knows the way home.
00:19:40.11\00:19:44.11
Just follow Jesus.
00:19:44.15\00:19:49.32
He knows the way home.
00:19:50.39\00:19:58.86
I've never made a fortune.
00:20:28.39\00:20:33.03
And it's probably too late now.
00:20:35.03\00:20:40.90
Oh, but I don't
worry about that much,
00:20:42.17\00:20:47.01
'cause I'm happy anyhow.
00:20:48.84\00:20:54.98
As I go along life's journey,
00:20:55.78\00:21:01.99
I'm reaping
better than I've sowed.
00:21:02.49\00:21:10.97
I'm drinking from my saucer
00:21:11.00\00:21:15.77
'cause my cup has overflowed.
00:21:16.17\00:21:20.44
Ain't that good? Amen.
00:21:20.48\00:21:22.71
Ain't got a lot of riches,
00:21:23.88\00:21:28.62
sometimes the going's rough.
00:21:29.92\00:21:34.02
Listen to this.
00:21:35.29\00:21:36.62
But I've got a friend in Jesus,
00:21:36.93\00:21:42.06
and that makes me rich enough.
00:21:43.43\00:21:47.74
Oh yes.
00:21:48.07\00:21:50.04
I thank God for
all His blessings on me
00:21:50.14\00:21:56.21
and the mercy
that He's bestowed.
00:21:57.11\00:22:05.59
I'm drinking from my saucer
00:22:06.05\00:22:10.69
'cause my cup has overflowed.
00:22:11.39\00:22:17.47
You know, my friend, sometimes
sadness and sorrow comes our way
00:22:19.10\00:22:23.84
and it doesn't seem to
be much we can do about it.
00:22:24.27\00:22:26.64
But I remember the one night
when I was at my very lowest.
00:22:26.91\00:22:31.11
I looked up into
heaven and I touched His
00:22:31.28\00:22:33.82
precious nailed scarred hands.
00:22:33.85\00:22:35.72
God promises
that He'll be faithful
00:22:35.92\00:22:38.12
to reach down and pick
us up and restore us to new.
00:22:38.15\00:22:41.32
Has He done
that for you tonight?
00:22:41.42\00:22:43.43
So, Lord, help me not
to grumble and complain
00:22:45.49\00:22:50.40
about the tough
rows I have hoed.
00:22:51.83\00:23:00.48
I'm drinking from my saucer
00:23:00.88\00:23:05.61
'cause my cup has overflowed.
00:23:06.01\00:23:11.35
And if I should go on living,
00:23:12.85\00:23:17.79
and if my way
gets steep and rough,
00:23:19.16\00:23:25.23
I'm not going to
ask for other blessings.
00:23:26.00\00:23:29.94
And you know why?
00:23:29.97\00:23:31.31
'Cause I feel that I'm
already blessed enough.
00:23:31.37\00:23:37.05
Ah, this is my
prayer for you tonight.
00:23:37.55\00:23:39.75
That I may never be too busy,
00:23:40.15\00:23:44.59
I don't want to
ever be too busy, friend,
00:23:44.62\00:23:46.96
to help another bear his load.
00:23:46.99\00:23:55.06
You see, I'm
drinking from my saucer
00:23:55.10\00:24:00.74
'cause my cup has overflowed.
00:24:01.17\00:24:06.44
Yes, I'll be
drinking from my saucer, Lord,
00:24:06.98\00:24:11.88
oh yes I will,
00:24:12.08\00:24:15.78
this cup has overflowed.
00:24:16.08\00:24:19.59
Tell me tonight,
has your cup overflowed?
00:24:19.62\00:24:29.06
Amen, amen.
00:24:29.10\00:24:30.90
Sometimes I feel like
I'm just walking around
00:24:51.99\00:24:56.02
with my head up in the clouds.
00:24:56.39\00:24:59.03
I'm steadily moving,
but I'm not gaining ground;
00:24:59.93\00:25:04.17
heading the
wrong way in a crowd.
00:25:04.20\00:25:07.84
Then I remember I'm
not part of this world.
00:25:08.07\00:25:12.14
I'm moving higher each day.
00:25:12.17\00:25:15.94
Upward mobility
sounds mighty good to me.
00:25:15.98\00:25:20.12
I just can't wait to get away.
00:25:20.15\00:25:24.02
Got to remember
I'm not here to stay.
00:25:24.05\00:25:27.96
I'm looking
forward to a brighter day.
00:25:28.09\00:25:32.06
Got to remember
I'm not here for long.
00:25:32.09\00:25:35.70
I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:25:35.73\00:25:40.20
Oh, if you are bothered
by the problems of life,
00:25:55.15\00:25:59.75
don't you let them get you down.
00:25:59.95\00:26:03.39
Just look to Jesus,
you will not be denied.
00:26:03.99\00:26:08.20
He'll move you
up to higher ground.
00:26:08.23\00:26:11.97
Don't you forget that
you're a child of the King,
00:26:12.07\00:26:15.97
that you're an
heir to His throne.
00:26:16.00\00:26:20.01
You may not know just
when He's coming back again
00:26:20.04\00:26:24.25
to take us to our happy home.
00:26:24.28\00:26:28.08
Got to remember
I'm not here to stay.
00:26:28.12\00:26:31.79
I'm looking
forward to a brighter day.
00:26:31.82\00:26:35.86
Got to remember
I'm not here for long.
00:26:36.06\00:26:39.63
I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:26:39.66\00:26:44.13
Got to remember
I'm not here to stay.
00:26:44.17\00:26:47.74
I'm looking
forward to a brighter day.
00:26:47.77\00:26:52.17
Got to remember
I'm not here for long.
00:26:52.21\00:26:55.78
I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:26:55.81\00:26:59.38
Oh, I'm just living
in my temporary home.
00:26:59.41\00:27:04.02
I want to just drop this
little line with you men.
00:27:04.82\00:27:09.42
I have learned
this through the years,
00:27:10.36\00:27:12.06
that women are like phones.
00:27:12.09\00:27:15.16
They love to be talked to,
00:27:16.70\00:27:18.83
and held.
00:27:20.74\00:27:22.14
But if you push
the wrong button,
00:27:22.77\00:27:25.21
you will be disconnected.
00:27:26.68\00:27:28.74
God bless you. Thank you.
