For the man who follows Jesus all the days of his life
Who picks up his cross and walks with his God
A glorious inheritance awaits him at the end
Where he will see and know his true Father
And the pearl of great price is in his hand

So as for me I will press on in running the race
With my eyes fixed on Jesus
Who inspires and perfects my faith
I will fight the good fight
With all my heart and soul
Until the day that I'm with Jesus,
The day I'm finally home
The day that I have won the crown

He will approach the throne of his Father
With Jesus at his side
The Father will rise and say, “Welcome home
You’re a good and faithful servant
Come home and take your reward
The battle's done, come and take your rest
Stay with Me forever more

And the heavens will resound with the thunder of praise
The angels and the saints will shout for joy
And the Father will dance for His son has come home
Another warrior returns from the fight
Another victory for the Lamb of God
