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
Oh, Lord, You know
I have no friend like You
If heaven is 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 one thing I know
I fixed that up with Jesus
A long, long time ago
I know He'll take me through
The vile and wicked and poor
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
Oh, Lord, You know
I have no friend like You
If heaven is 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 every hand
Are shouting victory
The song of sweetest praise
Drift by from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
Oh, Lord, You know
I have no friend like You
If heaven is 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
