[Intro 1]
[G][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Beau[C] tifu[G]l isle of somewhere
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]If you've got two or three minutes
[D]I'd like to tell you a story
And this a story about a preacher
And I know there's a lot of stories
about [C]a lot of preachers[G]

[Verse 3]
But this is a story [G]of one
particular preacher
Who went overseas [D]to fight a war
And this was a war for [A]God and not
for any one country
And he fought a long [D]hard fight and he won
a lot of souls

[Verse 4]
But this preacher got [D]old and
he was coming [G]home
Now he just happened to
be on the same ship
[Em]With what some of us call [A]a ce[D]lebrity

[Verse 5]
And when the boat [D]docked
There were thousands of
[G]people waiting
To meet the [D]celebrity
And they [G]carried him off
[C]on their shoulders

[Verse 6]
But there was [G]no one there
To meet the old preacher
[D]An d he looked up and he said
[G]"Lord did you forget?"

[Verse 7]
Well, it [G]seemed like the
Heavens just broke [C]open[C#dim]
[C]And the Lord said,
"No son I didn't forget
But you must remember
You're not home yet"
[D]You're not

[Verse 8]
[G]home,
you're not [D]home
You're not [G]home yet
I [C]can still hear my [D]Lord's
voice [G]ringing

[Verse 9]
"There'll be [G]a crowd to meet you
A choir of [C]angels to greet you
I didn't forget but son
[D]You're not [D]home [G]yet"
