Bethelite song from the 70's

[Trenton Smith]

I'm trying to find the lyrics to song from the 70's written by a Bethelite. It was called "I'm coming home mom". It was played at a District Convention back then.

Beautiful song. It was about a son singing to his mother about the Bible truths he had learned and encouraged her to listen.

It started out something like "There once was a man, whose name was John. And he had a vision of things to come".... And so on.

So those of you friends who have been around for a while, had you heard it? Do you remember it?

I remember Trenton!  A sister with a beautiful voice sang it at one of our "untalent" shows as they were called.  I think of it sometimes and wish I could hear it again!

I'm glad someone remembers it. Just wish I could remember the lyrics. Thanks for responding.

There was a cartoon called "Born 30 Years too Soon"

 

It applies here too. I googled - I'm coming home mom

 

All I got was this below!

Mama, I'm Coming Home by Ozzy Osbourne  

Unless you find that old songbook you'll never get he lyrics!

This was back before the internet was probably conceived. It wasn't in our song books. Just a beautiful melody and lyrics about the hope we have. They happened to have played it at our District Convention back then. Hardly a dry eye.

If I remember right, it was a husband/wife couple that wrote it. One or both served at Bethel.

It really hit home to me, as it would to many of us, who wished that our worldly family would just listen and take to heart God's promises.

Another one not in the song books, it was used on a special occasion in Sydney, I think it was the dedication of part of the new Bethel home...
