Going Up Home
Avril Gearheart and Ralph Stanley
Recorded live at The Blackstone River Theatre, September 30, 2000.

lyrics

Troubles and trials often betray us
Causing our weary bodies to stray
But we shall walk beside the still waters
With the good shepherd leading the way

Chorus:
Going up home to live in green pastures
Where we shall live and die never more
Even the lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore

Those who have strayed were sought by the master
He who once gave his life for the sheep
Out on the mountain still he is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep...Chorus

We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us unto despair
Following on with our loving master
We shall all reach that country so fair...Chorus 2X
