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
