Verse 1a
This world is not my home,
I’m just a passing through.
My treasures are laid up
somewhere beyond the blue;
Verse 1b
The angels beckon me
from heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home
in this world anymore.
Chorus 1
O Lord, you know
I have no friend like you,
If heaven’s not my home
then, Lord, what will I do?
Chorus 2
The angels beckon me
from heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home
in this world anymore.
Verse 2a
They’re all expecting me
and that’s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me
and now I onward go;
Verse 2b
I know He’ll take me through,
though I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home
in this world anymore.
Verse 3a
Just up in glory land
we’ll live eternally,
The saints on ev’ry hand
are shouting: “Victory!”
Verse 3b
Their songs of sweetest praise
drift back from heaven’s shore,
And I can’t feel at home
in this world anymore.
