This world is not my home, I'm just passin' through

My treasures and my hopes are placed beyond the blue

Many friends and kin have gone on before

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 oh lord what will I do

Angels beckon me to heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

I have a loving mother up in glory land

And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand

She's waitin' 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 oh lord what will I do

Angels beckon me to heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
