About This Song


Wrote this Southern Gospel song with the very talented (and hard working) Kenna West and Jason Cox. I'm still figuring out this genre, and I'm thankful for them keeping me between the guardrails!

Nice work; the lyrics in the chorus flow nicely.  Sounds natural and effortless, which is a compliment to how well written it is.

Nice….... Definitely Southern Gospel for me. Nice Harmony and the key step is great.

Great song Brent, Very upbeat and the way it changed key was so effortless which you don’t hear that often usually it’s right in your face I give this one 5 stars, it really moved me

Thanks for the feedback, ya’ll!  We just got a Southern Gospel act to cut this song this week.  We’ll see what happens with it…

You are in great company with Kenna!  This is a hallelujah song for sure Brent.  Sounds like you are figuring this genre out just perfectly!  Congrats, continued hallelujahs and thanks for the new and upgraded website:)

I agree with Dori about the updated website—I’m just noticing how much easier it is to get around on it—also, the song might be a good fit for The Booth Brothers (Southern Gospel recording artists). Best of luck. And I also like the fact that you’re willing to put your own songs up for us to check out on this website (and not just our songs).

Happy to say that we got this one cut!  It’s on the Southern Gospel album “Raised On Red” by Wilburn & Wilburn on Daywind Records.

Hallelujah Homecoming

Written by Brent Baxter

We live in a world down here below
With trials and troubles and earthly woes
But there’s a day gonna dawn
When we finally cross that distant shore
And the saints in glory who’ve gone before
They will welcome us home

CHORUS:
The gates swing open and I’ll step inside
Say hello to the by and by
As I run down the road that’s paved with gold to the Father’s glorious throne
Find my friends and loved ones there
At the marriage supper, pull up a chair
Oh what a morning at the hallelujah homecoming

VERSE 2:
Oh, for the day when there’s no more night
The old is passed and we live in the light
No tear there will ever be shed
There’s gonna be peace, gonna be joy
Gonna sing forever, yeah, lift our voice
It’ll be a celebration when

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
That will be... when
