More Like Home

Well I remember how you found me as a young man full of dreams
Like a son from afar you took me in
Like you always said the narrow road is harder than it seems
But right now I don't know where to begin

Well I remember how you molded me a lover of the truth
And that truth is still making me today
And I know you thought that you had failed but here's contrary proof
Your daughters and your sons they know the way

In dying there is life again like a seed that's fallen down
I know you've fallen on some fertile ground
I know you're better off up there where death cannot be found
You've landed where your feet were always bound

We know this world was not your home
You are looking now at what you've always known
As you walk along the streets of gold
We are holding on to what you now behold
You are making heaven a little more like home

Well I remember how you sowed a discontentment in my soul
A longing for a better day
Where heaven touches earth just like stories that you told
Your legacy is living on today

It's living in the heavy hearts of the daughters that you raised
It's alive and well in the sons that you have made
A posterity that Pharisees have never really praised
Your testimony had no accolade

We know this world was not your home
You are looking now at what you've always known
As you walk along the streets of gold
We are holding on to what you now behold
You are making heaven a little more like home

I remember how they told me you were not afraid to leave
You longed to see your Savior's face
It's hard down here to let you go and find faith to believe
But we know it was meant to be this way

We know this world was not your home
You are looking now at what you've always known
As you walk along the streets of gold
We are holding on to what you now behold
You are making heaven
You are making heaven
Yeah, yeah you are makin' heaven a little more like home
