421. 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.

Chorus

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
I fixed it up with Jesus
Many years ago.
I know He'll see me through
Tho' I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.

I have a loving mother
Just over in glory land
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

Just over in GLORYLAND,
We'll live eternally;
The saints on every hand
Are shouting “VICTORY”
The songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
