I'm almost home, I'm almost home
Got a mansion waiting
And I'm almost home

The took the apostle Peter and stoned him o'er and o'er
But he would not deny the Lord as he had done before
They hung him by his feet to die they thought he was alone
But he looked up to Heaven, said I'm almost home

They took the prophet John out on the isle to die
But he had a good connection with the Man up in the sky
God showed him the new Jerusalem, they thought it wasn't long
He said it's not so hard to die when you can see your home
