Suppertime
Homecoming Harmony: Embracing the Suppertime Memories
Lyrics
Many years ago in days of childhood
Reflecting on childhood experiences.
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Recalling playing until sunset.
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
Describing the path back home.
I heard my mother call at set of sun
Hearing the mother's call as the day ends.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
Mother calling to come home for supper.
The shadows lengthen fast
Evening shadows are getting longer.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
Reiterating the call to come home for supper.
We're going home at last
Expressing the anticipation of going home.
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Fond memories connected to suppertime.
Were woven around suppertime
Highlighting the significance of suppertime in childhood.
When my mother used to call
Recalling the mother's call from the past.
From the backsteps of the old homeplace
Referencing the family home and suppertime.
Come on home now son it's suppertime
Mother inviting the son to come home for supper.
Ah but I'd loved to hear that once more
Expressing a longing to hear the mother's call again.
But you know for me time has woven the realization of
Time bringing realization and understanding.
The truth that's even more thrillin' and that's when
Thrill in realizing a deeper truth.
The call come up from the portals of glory
Introduction of a divine call from the portals of glory.
To come home for it's suppertime when all
Suppertime being a gathering for God's children.
God's children shall gather around the table of the Lord
Describing a sacred gathering around the Lord's table.
Himself and the greatest suppertime of them all
Emphasizing the significance of the greatest suppertime.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
Reiteration of the call to come home for suppertime.
The shadows lengthen fast
Noting the fast-approaching evening shadows.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
Reiterating the call to come home for supper.
We're going home at last
Expressing the joy of finally going home.
