We…will be caught up…to meet the Lord in the air.

If you know Faircloth’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
There is a home, it’s just above,
Where all is glory bright and fair;
O how my heart is filled with love,
To hear the shouting in the air.
Refrain
I’m on the way to glory fair,
Shouting, shouting, shouting in the air;
I’m on the way to glory fair;
There will be shouting, shouting,
Shouting in the air.
There is a home so bright and fair,
And I can see its portals clear;
And when we meet our Savior there,
There’ll be a shouting in the air.
Refrain
There is a home not made with hands,
It’s in that glory, glory land;
And in that home I long to stand
To share the shouting with that band.
