Harris, Emmylou - Calling My Children Home Lyrics
Those lives were mine to love and cherish.
To guard and guide along life's way.
Oh God forbid that one should perish.
That one alas should go astray.
Around the place we'd romp and play.
So lonely now and oft' times wonder,
Oh will they come back home some day.
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
They live so far away.
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..and come back home some day.
I gave my all for my dear children,
Their problems still with love I share,
To bring them home from anywhere.
I lived my life my love
I gave them, to guide them through this world of strife,
I hope and pray we'll live together,
In that great glad here after life.
I'm lonesome for my precious children,
They live so far away.
Oh may they hear my calling...calling..and come back home some day.

Harris, Emmylou Calling My Children Home Comments
WOW....! That is sheer class and comfort. Never felt like a song stressed.. God bless
LOVE YA EMMYLOU
It's the spyboy choir!
There are no words.
Her magic shut the crowd up. When voices were true without autotune. An amazing talent.

Beautiful voice!
superbe voix....♥
Every loving parent thanks you for this song.
Angel Always Colleen
OMG you are aging so gracefully. You are more beautiful than when we were young.
I have said this before. This voice is sooo beautiful. Unaccompanied. Wow
WOW just WOW!!!!
God bless this Lady
This True Lady of Country and all music. Just look how effortless she sings the angles song.
God bless you
I love Emmy Lou and have for many year's! This song in particular melt's every parents heart! I struggled to get all 4 of mine through College and made it. They are successful and independent. The greatest irony is I worked so hard making them successful. I had little time to spend at home with them. Now that they are working on their own future's they have little time for me! Somewhere along our way in America we lost our balance. Not sure we will ever get it back!
Ola Galera tudo bem Galera veja os meus videos eu toco Rock n Roll veja e Rock novo valeu um abraço a minha banda e Rocha Vulcanica valeUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Your Heavenly father is calling you home, God misses all his children and hope you will listen to his voice calling , not satan.
Beautiful
Emmy Lou could sing the phone book & I would love to listen.
Such emotional beauty!
the most wonderful version is with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton .... check it out here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rpBpM6_UA4
The melody is an (also nice) version of The Rose, written by Amanda McBroom, and famously sung by Bette Midler, 1979, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxvPjuREDpE ; it brought a Golden Globe to McBroom and a Grammy to Midler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rose_(song)
Just beautiful
Just love Emmy Lou !
Emmylou's voice is a perfect instrument, with enough nuance, the right amount of harmony, and an ability to pierce the heart of any human, asleep, or awake.
There taint nearly 'nuff acapella around these days!!
Her impeccable phrasing shines here. Same song from trio complete collection album lacks the subtlety and tenderness of this version
I cry every time I hear this song
I do, too.
Please do not miss this.
WHY DO I NEED JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE ? Man needs to consider the answers to life's important questions. We ask ourselves who we are, where we came from, where are we going, AND WHY ARE WE HERE ? There is no greater place to seek the answers to these profound questions than the Bible, a book provided by God to help us in our endeavor to seek truth for our lives here and for all eternity.
WE ARE HERE TAKING A TEST. ARE YOU PASSING ? We are here taking a test given free will to make choices and decisions you are in the middle of a spiritual warfare between God / Jesus and Satan and his evil agencies. Both have access to you. The condition of your heart as described in the parable of the sower in Luke 8th chapter will determine who you want to identify with and therefore determine your eternal destiny
. The scriptures are perfectly clear that obedience to Jesus and His teachings are the ONLY WAY to Heaven. John 14:6, Acts 4:12, I Tim 1:3-5, Heb 5:8-9.
LIGHT OR DARKNESS, WHERE DO YOU LIVE ? Many people live in darkness. separated or disconnected from their Heavenly Father by their sins causing them to be at war with Him. Man is a sinner filled with much of the same character defects which got Satan and a third of the angels thrown out of Heaven. They are here on planet earth continuing their disobedience and rebellion til Jesus returns.
There are two spiritual kingdoms around us at this moment in time. There is the spiritual kingdom of light where Christ rules and the spiritual kingdom of darkness where Satan rules. All of us exist in one of these Kingdoms. Matt. 7: 13-14, The pathway to Heaven is narrow and few find it but the pathway to Hell is a broad road where many dwell and travel. In simple terms, few dwell in the Kingdom of Light but many in the kingdom of darkness. Satan and the fallen angels have been given a certain amount of freedom and access to us as they are the negative part of the test we are all here taking with the " free will " God gave us.
Both Christ and Satan have superior power to any human being. Satan is a liar, deceiver, tempter, robber, destroyer, and killer of men's souls. He is the god of this world, and is capable of blinding people so they cannot see Jesus Christ. II Cor 4: 3-5. Since so many people live in that Spiritual Kingdom of Darkness they only have access to the knowledge and understanding that this Kingdom provides. They may consider the substance and theology of the Kingdom of light to be foolishness.
I Corinthians 2:14 " Now the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged." And how are they going to visualize or comprehend the Holy Spirit who indwells every genuine believer and follower of Jesus and His teachings. Acts 5:32, We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” Jesus said, John 14: 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. ( Holy Spirit ) The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. Most people live separated from God / Jesus by their sins causing a void or emptiness in their life. They live disconnected. I John 5:12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Dear friends, Your sins and mine put Jesus, who had no sin and was that innocent lamb slaughtered on the cross so that you and I may have opportunity for forgiveness of our sins and hope of eternal life with our Heavenly Father. The only escape any of us have from the power of Satan and the power of sin is to surrender our life to Jesus Christ.
On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 there were 3,000 people wanting to know what to do to be saved. Peter told them to repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 3,000 did this, ( immersed in water ), and Jesus added them to His Church, which is God's Kingdom here on earth also known as the Kingdom of light. Colossians 1:10-14. The HOLY SPIRIT is given to those who obey God, Acts 5:32, to be the enabler and helper in a Christian's life connecting' them to the Heavenly Father with Jesus as Lord, Savior, Mediator, Rescuer, and High Priest.
Any humble penitent heart can get God / Jesus's attention to be saved.
I love Emily Harris. I have not seen my son in eleven years. Father took him
God bless you. I am praying.
That was real good
❤❤💕💞😍💓💔❣❣
Beautiful
lovely song by Emilylou Harris ,like it Mar 14 , 2018
O>..,,>,,,,, ANOTHER SONG WILL NEVER FORGET !
This was just beautiful...
For my sweet baby boy, that was called home to heaven. I will come back home to you someday, sweet Johnathan
How wonderful the song and the message
When you've lost a child as I. You can't listen to this without crying. The double meaning is beautiful.
Transcendent.
the guy with the "hurshy's" shirt LOL
Wow!!!!!!!!!! <3
love this
I just wish I'd be her child and ear that song for the rest of my life...
This song means soo much my child is in direct line of the hurricane.
Emmylou Harris, who could get by on looks alone, instead makes her voice the heart of her performance -- which makes her just that much more beautiful.
Emmylou just keeps getting better
So right!
What a chill they all must have got performing THAT!!! Not just the harmony, the blend, but the expression and feeling they all sang with.
Nancy Ryan Brings tears to the eyes!
Touches me on an emotional level like few songs can. The ache in a Mom's heart in the absence of her grown children is so palpable. Her delicate phrasing and timing of each syllable is expertly crafted as are the harmony vocals
TJ Wash So true!
I began t listen to Emmylou when I arrived back in Canada at 18, after growing up in Germany. I thought myself how to play her songs on guitar and learned a lot of English that way. Still, being influenced by her songs today...
the best
such harmony
what a beautiful voice. beautiful lady.
If your a parent and this does not move your soul, then you have none...
Not another like her
She's an Alabama girl!
a most beautiful version of this beautiful song.(done by a most beautiful lady!)
Emmylou, a woman with a voice that can take you to heaven or break your heart with it's beauty
Is this song about the prodigal son in The Bible?
Not necessary to relate to the bible,this is about missing loving and wanting to be reunited,,plain and simple
Chilling! absolutely lovely!
And the Spyboy choir.
I now love everyone's mothers.
Well said.

The heartland
calling my children home with lyrics
Dittos to what I once read written by someone also awestruck by her beauty ..."I would crawl naked on my hands and knees down a long gravel road just to wave down the laundry truck so I could sniff her panties!"
This wonderful performance must be among the best live performances ever recorded. Fortunately the magical effect is not destroyed by intrusive noises from elsewhere. A good example of the disruption that can be caused by people "showing their appreciation" during a performance can be experienced by listening to the youtube video of John Prine singing his song "Unwed Fathers" accompanied by Carrie Rodriguez from August 2010 :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNHd9QJ7HSQ
WOW.
Carried by pure talent. No electronics. Absolutely untouchable.
So, beautiful, it brings tears to your eyes.
Beautiful!!!!!
Very beautiful...thanks for sharing. GOD bless you.
beautiful touching song the words mean so much and give me hope
BEAUTIFUL brings tears.................
Missing Roy's Bass but Spyboy picked up the reins and ran with it. Oh to be at the Exit Inn in Nashville in May 1998. Goosebumps!
wow, I did not expect to stay translated, which God forbid, she's beautiful, I mean
the emmylou and sings very well. that God be merciful to me, that makes his face shine upon me and have mercy on me and give me peace. Amen!
I would like to give a fuck with her, not beautiful?
That was amazing!!! Absolutely beautiful !!!
Buddy Miller and Spyboy...Wow!
Goosebumps

I Wonder why your hero Mr Trump doesn't use his influence to get Assange back to US for a ticker tape welcome
Trump is not my hero, he's simply the best option we have right now. Notice Trump praised Wiki Leaks, and berated the CIA? Now he praises the CIA and let's them berate Assange. He plays one card against the other, same with Russia...he's trying to get people off his back, so he plays them against each other. He's not winning any points with me, but he's not losing them either...
If we all sing together we would not know war or hate and anger.
how can one sing such wonderful songs of the soul and have room for any thing but love LC
You are 100% correct. I call Emmylou he Queen of Heartbreak, her songs have reduced my to tears so many times. I find 'My Baby Needs a Shepherd' almost unbearable at times. Makes me think of poor lost Madelaine McCann and all the thousands of lost children around the world
my baby needs a shepherd by emmylou harris
