THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME

by: J. R. Baxter, Jr.

Listen to the Tune

1. This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

CHORUS:
O Lord, I know, I have no friend like You.
If heaven's not my home, then Lord, what can I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

2. My Savior pardoned me from guilt and shame, I know.
I'll trust His saving grace while trav'ling here below.
I know He'll welcome me at heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

3. I have a precious mother up in gloryland
I don't expect to stop until I clasp her hand.
For me she's waiting now at heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

4. The saints in gloryland are shouting victory,
I want to join their band and live eternally;
I hear the sweetest praise from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
