A homecoming is a day set aside once a year for friends and family who have moved away to return to their home church. The song uses the "homecoming" theme as a symbol for heaven. Calvary is the place where Christ was crucified. The death of Christ on the cross at Calvary was the sacrifice that covered the sins of the world. Calvary, therefore, is the subject of thousands of gospel songs. Calvary is also used to symbolize the difficulties of the christian life as it is in this song.
breaks me down to actually get to see and hear! love it!

What's a homecoming? And Calvary? I see/hear it often in gospels, but never know what it really means.
