Jim Reeves - Suppertime Lyrics






[Sang]
Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
I'd hear my mother call at set of sun.

Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last.

[Spoken]
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around suppertime
When my mother used to call
From the backsteps of the old homeplace
Come on home now son it's suppertime.

Ahhhh, but I'd loved to hear that once more
But you know for me time has woven the realization of
The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when
The call come up from the portals of glory
To come home for it's suppertime.

When all Gods children shall gather around the table
of the Lord, Himself and the greatest suppertime of them all.

[Sang]
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last...

    Just bursting my heart. Takes me so far, my brother's learning to play guitar, music in church sitting on a porch singing, helping my mom lead singing in church. Guess I could go on and on. Don't care that it makes me cry, tear's cleaned the soul and connects us to so many wonderful memories that we made in life. Wonderful Songs are a Blessing and Healing.

    When Jim Reeves sang hymns and Gospel songs, you believed him! This one was written by
    Ira Forest Stanphill (1914-1993). Of the over 500 songs he wrote, the most famous is "MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP." Stanphill was an evangelist who pastored many churches and preached in over 40 countries. He could sing, and played the piano, organ, accordian, clarinet, xylophone, ukulele, and saxaphone. In 1976 he had a malignant brain tumor removed, and lived another 17 years before expiring from a heart attack at age 79.

    When you want to cast your uneducated opinion upon people, make sure your grammar is on point. Otherwise, you look like a complete ass, and you do! Honestly, nobody cares what you think. Spend some time brushing up your communication skills...they are in need.
