Libera – Going Home lyrics

Libera – Going Home lyrics

Going home, going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home

It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Never fear no more

Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I know

I'm just going home

No more fear, no more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more

Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun

There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on

Going home, going home
I am going home
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun

I'm just going home

This is a song for someone longing to be home in heaven. We anticipate those who've gone on ahead of us expecting our arrival (Mother's there expecting me, Father's waiting too. Lots of folks gathered there, all the friends I knew). When we see it in that light, the thought of eternity with God is not something to be afraid of but it creates in us a desire to so order our lives in God so that heaven is the natural outcome. I happen to believe that can only happen through a living relationship with God through Christ and I believe that's also what the author had in mind.

A beautiful song of great comfort to me and especially when sung by a beautiful Norwegian voice of Sissel. My mother loved the song as sung by Bryn Terfel some years ago. i lay back and close my eyes and imagine mum greeting her father, mother, brother and a couple of sisters. no more worries, no more care. just beautiful. want it played at my funeral as well as 'time to say goodbye.'

We don’t need to die to go home!! We can be at home here on earth! Jesus said They Kingdim of heaven is within”. It’s more about waking up to the truth rather than dying!!! “It’s not far just close by through an open door” we can simply drop the shackles of our conditioning and step through!!! It’s so simple that we complicate it trying to find the meaning! ❤️❤️

It is about enlightenment. Each verse says it. Going home is feeling at home right here, when it happens quiet remains and days are still, work all done, nothing you do is work but rather done in a playful tone, cares laid by, then you simply have no cares but just things to do or leave behind, fear just passes by like wind, a movement if it ever so occures. You start seeing everybody around as your own, you see a friend on a stranger's face. All seeking and wishful daydreaming stop, you need nothing more than that which already is at hand. When you sort of are enlightened life just goes on for you, nothing ends and nothing new begins. You simply enjoy the moment just like you were before only now with a touch of ease and clarity to write explanations like this one. Haha. And it is where you recognize the joy of life. Real life has begun. I am at home.

From where we have come and to where we are going is the same for all of us. Children have lived with God more recently than we adults.Hence, for a child, leaving this world means to gratefully, joyfully return home to our Creator and Sustainer. Years living in this difficult world may steadily chip away our relationship with God and make our anticipation of returning home seem ominous. Of course, meeting God in the end of this life will be glorious for all of us. How kind for children to reassure us that the most wonderful of all Homecomings await everyone of us! And who would know better than those who have been with God most recently?
