This World Is Not My Home

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'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
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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...
