Topeka Bible Church closes with Carrie Underwood song #sundaysetlist #sundaysetlists #worship

Some asked me what song we closed with today at Topeka Bible Church.  It’s called “Temporary Home” and it’s performed by Carrie Underwood.  Jim Congdon found the song and requested it.  Great song.  Here are the lyrics…

Temporary Home

Songwriters: Carrie Underwood, Zac Maloy & Luke Laird

VERSE 1

Little boy, six years old, a little too used to being alone

Another new mom and dad, another school, another house that’ll never be home

When people ask him how he likes this place

He looks up and says with a smile upon his face,

CHORUS 1

“This is my temporary home it’s not where I belong

Windows and rooms that I’m passing through

This is just a stop, on the way to where I’m going

I’m not afraid because I know this is my temporary home.”

VERSE 2

Young mom on her own, she needs a little help,

got nowhere to go, she’s looking for a job, looking for a way out

Because a half-way house will never be a home

At night she whispers to her baby girl,

“Someday we’ll find a place here in this world.”

CHORUS 1

This is my temporary home it’s not where I belong

Windows and rooms that I’m passing through

This is just a stop, on the way to where I’m going

I’m not afraid because I know this is my temporary home.

VERSE 3

Old man, hospital bed, the room is filled with people he loves

And he whispers, ”Don’t cry for me I’ll see you all someday.”

He looks up and says, ”I can see God’s face.”

CHORUS 2

This is our temporary home, it’s not where we belong

Windows and rooms that we’re passing through

This is just a stop on the way to where we’re going

I’m not afraid because I know this is our temporary home.
