Build My Mansion (Next Door To Jesus)
[Chorus]
Build my mansion next door to Jesus
And tell the angels I'm coming home
It doesn't matter who lives around me
Just so my mansion sits near the throne

[Verse 1]
I have no castle, no earthly kingdom
But my cabin will do 'til I get home
My mansion's yonder on the hills of glory
Oh, I hope my mansion sits near God's throne

[Chorus]
Just build my mansion next door to Jesus
And tell the angels I'm coming home
It doesn't matter who lives around me
Just so my mansion sits near the throne

[Verse 2]
My mother's mansion may be close by me
Across the golden avenue
She was the first one to teach me of Heaven
And the very first one to tell me of You

[Chorus]
So build my mansion next door to Jesus
And tell the angels I'm coming home
It doesn't matter who lives around me
Just so my mansion sits near the throne
[Outro]
It doesn't matter who lives around me
Just so my mansion sits near God's throne
