This World Is Not My Home
[Verse 1]
This world is not my home
I'm just a-passing through
My treasures are laid up
Somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Verse 2]
I have a loving mother
Just up in Gloryland
And I don't expect to stop
Until I shake her hand
She's waiting now for me
In heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Verse 3]
Just over in Gloryland
We'll live eternally
The saints on every hand
Are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
