This World Is Not My Home

this world is not my home

i’m just a passin’ through

my pleasure and my hope

are placed beyond the blue

many friends and kindreds

has gone on before

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore

oh Lord, you know

i have no friend like you

if heaven’s not my home

oh Lord, what will i do

angels beacon me

to heavens open door

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore

oh in glory land

there’ll be no dying there

the saints all shouting victory

and singing everywhere

i hear the voice of them

that’s gone on before

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore

oh Lord, you know

i have no friend like you

if heaven’s not my home

oh Lord, what will i do

angels beacon me

to heavens open door

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore

heavens expecting me

that’s one thing i know

i fixed it up with Jesus

a long time ago

he would take me through

though i am weak and poor

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore

oh Lord, you know

i have no friend like you

if heaven’s not my home

oh Lord, what will i do

angels beacon me

to heavens open door

and i cant feel at home

in this world anymore
