License This Song 

• Are you disappointed
  Are you desperate for help
  You know what it's like to be tired
  And only a shell of yourself
  Well you start to believe
  You don't have what it takes
  'Cause it's all you can do
  Just to move much less finish the race
  But don't forget what lies ahead
  
  Almost home
  Brother it won't be long
  Soon all your burdens will be gone
  With all your strength
  Sister run wild, run free
  Hold up your head
  Keep pressing on
  We are almost home
  
  Well this road will be hard
  But we win in the end
  Simply because of Jesus in us
  It's not if but when
  So take joy in the journey
  Even when it feels long
  Oh find strength in each step
  Knowing heaven is cheering you on
  
  We are almost home
  Brother it won't be long
  Soon all your burdens will be gone
  With all your strength
  Sister run wild, run free
  Hold up your head
  Keep pressing on
  We are almost home
  Almost home
  Almost home
  
  I know that the cross has brought heaven to us
  But make no mistake there's still more to come
  When our flesh and our bone are no longer between
  Where we are right now and where we're meant to be
  When all that's been lost has been made whole again
  When these tears and this pain no longer exist
  No more walking we're running as fast as we can
  Consider this our second wind
  
  Almost home
  Brother it won't be long
  Soon all your burdens will be gone
  With all your strength
  Sister run wild, run free
  Hold up your head
  Keep pressing on
  We are almost home
  Almost home
  Almost home
  We are almost home
  Almost home
  Almost home
  We are almost home Writer/s: Barry Graul, Bart Millard, Benjamin Glover, Mike Scheuchzer, Nathan Cochran, Robby Shaffer

• Suzanne from Fairbanks, AlaskaMany years ago, I was a State Certified Nursing Assistant. I was working in a Nursing home managed by a Jewish family. The group of patients I had, were the more difficult ones to care for. John was one of them. Every afternoon, about 2pm., he required an ice cream cup. This one afternoon, I was running a little late. John calls me. I call him back to say that I was on my way. When I got there, he told me he didn’t want the ice cream. What he asked, was for me to do, to say the Sinner’s Prayer with him. I asked him if he knew what he was asking for, and he said yes. We spoke the Sinner’s Prayer. Two days later, I found his room empty. He died either the day of the prayer, or the day after. It puts to reality, we never know how long we have, or the others around us. Be ready for eternity, because it is there.
• Wm from MissouriI was headed back from visiting my 87 year old Mother. I saw her for several weeks in December, about 8 months earlier. Oh my the changes in those months. I heard this song about an hour out from arriving home. It immediately took me back to my Mother and our visit. I’m soooo full. I’ve listened to this song and it’s saying over and over in my being, thinking about my Mom. Wow. It touches and moves me to tears. Thank You for the reminder, “We’re Almost Home”
• Leann from 64873I was asked to step up and do something that I did not think GOD had called me to, and was praying about it. Heard this song on the radio, (KLOVE) and realized that this is what GOD needs me to do right now. Time is almost up, GOD has called each of us to minister to others right where we are! Don't give up, don't quit, don't stop! GOD will give you the strength if we will take the step and trust HIM!
  THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG!
• Sandie from OregonThis song is so powerful to me. The sudden death of my husband, having to put a dog down, and having my only child go to prison all within 12 months was overwhelming. This song is a message to me to carry on.
• Valorie Shiver from FloridaLost my son recently and this song speaks of how I have feeling. This was a message from my son to keep going, running, doing what I have been called to do. Heaven is around the corner.
