Heaven Isn't the End, It's Home | Country Gospel

# A PORCH LIGHT'S WAITING | Magnolia Country Gospel “A Porch Light's Waiting” is a heartfelt country gospel song about Heaven, eternal life, and the beautiful promise of going Home. With warm female Southern Gospel quartet harmonies and the comforting sound of traditional Christian country music, this song reminds us that the journey does not end at the river. Somewhere beyond the final crossing, a light is still burning. Like the porch light of an old country home, shining through the evening, it reminds us that someone is waiting. No more lonely roads. No more heavy burdens. No more nights spent wondering how much farther we have to go. Just the promise of the Father's welcome and the hope of seeing familiar faces again. **Because Heaven isn't just the end of the journey. It's Home.** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## ABOUT THIS SONG Do you remember coming home after dark and seeing the porch light still burning? Maybe it was your mother's house. Maybe your grandparents' little country home. That simple light meant something special. Someone was waiting for you. “A Porch Light's Waiting” takes that familiar memory and turns it into a beautiful picture of our heavenly Home. The river represents the final crossing. The distant shore represents the hope of eternal life. And the porch light reminds us of the loving welcome awaiting those who belong to Jesus Christ. Through gentle country melodies and close female quartet harmonies, Magnolia celebrates a promise that has comforted generations of believers. The road may be long, but we are not forgotten. The river may be wide, but we are not alone. And on the other side, the Father's light is still shining. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## CHAPTERS 0:00 A Porch Light's Waiting 0:15 Verse 1 – A Light on the Farther Shore 0:44 Chorus – The Father Calls Us Home 1:13 Verse 2 – The Ones Who Went Before 1:43 Chorus – No More Night to Walk Alone 2:13 Bridge – We Will Cross and Sing 2:35 Final Chorus – Waiting on the Other Side ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FULL LYRICS [Verse 1 – Lead] There’s a river in the evening And the water moves so slow But a light is burning steady On the farther bank I know [Quartet Answer] Farther bank I know [Verse 1 – Lead] Four voices lift the chorus While the current carries on Every step is getting lighter Till the old road leads us home [Quartet Answer] Leads us home [Chorus – Lead + Full Quartet] [Lead] A porch light’s waiting [Quartet] Waiting on the other side [Lead] A porch light’s waiting [Quartet] Where the weary ones arrive [Full Quartet] No more weight upon the journey No more night to walk alone A porch light’s waiting And the Father calls us home [Verse 2 – Lead] I can almost hear the voices Of the ones who went before They are singing on the shoreline With the lamp beside the door [Quartet Answer] Beside the door [Verse 2 – Lead] So we’ll keep the harmony rising While the river rolls away Every burden left behind us On this final, gentle day [Quartet Answer] Gentle day [Chorus – Lead + Full Quartet] [Lead] A porch light’s waiting [Quartet] Waiting on the other side [Lead] A porch light’s waiting [Quartet] Where the weary ones arrive [Full Quartet] No more weight upon the journey No more night to walk alone A porch light’s waiting And the Father calls us home [Bridge – Harmony] [Lead] Soft the light [Quartet] Soft the light [Lead] On the shore [Quartet] On the shore [Lead] We are ready when He calls us [Full Quartet] We will cross and sing once more [Final Chorus – Full Quartet] A porch light’s waiting Waiting on the other side A porch light’s waiting Where the weary ones arrive No more weight upon the journey We will cross and sing once more [Tag – Held] [Lead] A porch light’s waiting [Quartet] On the other side [Full Quartet, slow] On the other siiiide ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WELCOME TO MAGNOLIA COUNTRY GOSPEL Magnolia Country Gospel brings you heartfelt female quartet harmonies, traditional country gospel music, and songs about faith, family, grace, redemption, and the hope of Heaven.
