Suppertime

Many years ago in days of childhood

I used to play 'til evening shadows would come

Then winding down that old familiar pathway

I heard my mother call at set of sun.



Come home, come home, it's supper time

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home, come home, it's supper time

We're going home at last.



Spoken:

Some of the fondest memories of my childhood

Were woven around supper time

When momma used to call from the back steps

Of the old home place

Come on home, son, it's supper time

Oh, how I'd love to hear those words once more

But you know for me time has woven for me

A realization of truth that's even more thrilling

And that when the call from the portals of glory

To come on home, it's supper time.



Sang:

Come home, come home, it's supper time

The shadows lengthen fast

Come home, come home, it's supper time

We're going home at last.

We're going home at last.



Spoken:

When all of God's children shall gather round the table

With the Lord, Himself

At the greatest supper time of them all...
