This World Is Not My Home Songtext

von Bill Monroe

This World is Not My Home? The Monroe Brothers (from What Would You Give in Exchange For Your Soul?)

This world is not my home
I? m just a passin? through
My pleasure and my hope
Are placed beyond the blue
Many friends and kindreds
Has gone on before
And i cant 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 beacon me
To heavens open door
And i cant feel at home
In this world anymore

Oh in glory land
There? ll be no dying there
The saints all shouting victory
And singing everywhere
I hear the voice of them
That? s gone on before
And i cant 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 beacon me
To heavens open door
And i cant feel at home
In this world anymore

Heavens expecting me
That? s one thing i know
I fixed it up with Jesus
A long time ago

He would take me through
Though i am weak and poor
And i cant 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 beacon me
To heavens open door
And i cant feel at home
In this world anymore?
