This World is Not My Home

This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through

My treasures are laid up some where beyond the blue

The angels beckon me from heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

O 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.

They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know

My saviour pardoned me and now I onward go

I know He'll take me through

though I am weak and poor

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

O 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.

I have a loving mother up in glory land

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.

O 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.

Just up in Glory land we'll live eternally

The saints on ev'ry hand are shouting victory

Their song of sweetest praise drift back from Heaven's shore

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

O 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.
