This World Is Not My Home Songtext

von Ricky Skaggs

This World is not my Home
[Verse 1]
This world is not my home
I'm just a pass'n through
My treasures and my hope
Is placed beyond the blue
Many friends and kindred
Have gone on before
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Refrain]
O Lord yyou know
I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home
O lord what will I do
Angels beckon me
To Heaven's open door
And Ican't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Verse 2]
Over in gloryland
They'll be no dyin' there
The saints all shouting
“victory”
And singing everywhere
I hear the voice of them
Who've gone on before
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Verse 3]
Heaven's expecting me
That's one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus
A long time ago
He will take me through
Though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore
[Verse 4]
If you get there before me
I'll be there just the same
You'll hear me when I shout
“O glory to his name!”
I'll fly away with Him
My savior I adore
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
