Brothers and sisters
the war has been heavy
But his burdens light
Misses and misters
I know that you're weary
But don't lose the fight
And for the elders
and the deacons
And all you shinin' beacons
Don't get discouraged
'Cause his love
is keepin' you strong
Keep the home fires burnin'
with his eternal flame
Keep on livin'
what you're learnin'
And you will never
be the same
The good news
has come from heaven
The war's already won
That's why I wrote
this letter from the front
Pastors and teachers
Disciple his children
And tend to your flock
Prophets and preachers
Keep sharin' the gospel
of Jesus our rock
And for all the intercessors
Who deal with
all the pressures
Don't get discouraged
'Cause his love
is keepin' you strong
Keep the home fires burnin'
with his eternal flame
Keep on livin'
what you're learnin'
And you will never
be the same
The good news
has come from heaven
The war's already won
That's why I wrote
this letter from the front
Oh keep shinin' your light
Keep the home fires burnin'
with his eternal flame
Keep on livin'
what you're learnin'
And you will never
be the same
The good news
has come from heaven
The war's already won
That's why I wrote
this letter from the front
That's why I wrote this letter
Oh people hear the good news
Oh people
keep your eyes on Jesus
