A Better Home

Author: C. A. Tindley Hymnal: Soul Echoes #10 (1909) First Line: Ever since I have been Refrain First Line: I have started out to find a better home Lyrics: 1. Ever since I have been Living in this world of sin, I have had trials almost ev'ry day. Always something, more or less, To destroy my happiness, And this is how I've come all the way. Chorus: I have started out to find a better home, Where the trials of the world can never come. There with relatives and friends, I shall be so happy then in the presence of the Lord all the time. 2. It was when I was young I began to think upon My condition as a sinner unsave'd; And at once made up my mind, while i had sufficient time. I would bow on my knee and pray. 3. When I realized I had Found the Lord, I was so glad, For I thought all my trials would be done; That my way would always be One continuous jubilee, But I found out my trials had just begun. 4. Old satan tried to get Me to live a hypocrite, And to only have an outward form, He said time had changed the way, and in this enlightened day To do whate'er you please is no harm. 5. I tried it for awhile, Keeping up with every style, And was trying to get the crown without the cross; I found it would not do, For the word of God is true, And unless I lived upright I would be lost. 6. Then I put the world aside, Taking Jesus for my guide, I began to try and walk the narrow way; It is tedious, I admit, But I am not weary yet; I shall travel on until the perfect day.

Tindley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9949 First Line: Ever since I have been Refrain First Line: I have started out to find a better home Lyrics: 1 Ever since I have been Living in this world of sin, I have had trials almost every day; Always something, more or less, To destroy my happiness, And this is how I’ve come all the way. Refrain: I have started out to find a better home, Where the trials of this life can never come. There with relatives and friends, I shall be so happy then, In the presence of the Lord all the time. 2 It was when I was young I began to think upon My condition as a sinner unsaved; And at once made up my mind, While I had sufficient time, I would bow on my knees and pray. [Refrain] 3 When I realized I had Found the Lord, I was so glad, For I thought all my trials would be done; That my way would always be One continuous jubilee, But I found out my trials had just begun.
