Long Time Traveller

Today I ran into a friend at the gym and she said, "Back into the swing of things I see." How true this is... it's easy to remember that you're a long time traveller & Heaven is our home when you're in an uncomfortable place. But when I'm home in my tempurpedic bed, waking to Starbucks coffee, turning on the central heat, and wearing clean clothing (kind "friends" whose tender care has long engaged my love) I am so tempted to feel like "I'm home". So, I have a song that I listen to that reminds me that I'm a Long Time Traveller here below...


Lyrics:
Ye fleeting charms of earth
Farewell, your springs of joy are dry
My soul now seeks another home
A brighter world on high

I'm a long time travelling here below
I'm a long time travelling away from home
I'm a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down

Farewell kind friends whose tender care
Has long engaged my love
Your fond embrace I now exchange
For better friends above

I'm a long time travelling here below
I'm a long time travelling away from home
I'm a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down
