• This World is not my Home

  Refrain:

  O Lord, you know I have no friend like you
  If heaven’s not my home, O 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.

  Verses:

  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.

  My Savior pardoned me from guilt and shame I know
  I’ll trust His saving grace, while traveling here below.
  I know He’ll welcome 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.
  I fixed it up with Jesus, a long, long time ago.
  I know he’ll take me through, though I am weak and poor.
  And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

  I have a precious mother up in glory land
  I don’t expect to stop until I clasp her hand
  For me she’s waiting now at heaven’s open door
  And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

  The saints in glory land are shouting victory.
  I want to join their band and live eternally
  I hear the sweetest praise from heaven’s open door
  And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
