This World is Not My Home

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 to heaven’s open door

And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

2

Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you

If heaven’s not my home, oh Lord what will I do

The angels beckon me to heaven’s open door

And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

3

They're all expecting me, and 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

4

Over 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 can’t feel at home in this world anymore

This World is Not My Home - The Statler Brothers

I don't know why the Statler Brothers feel like family to me. (Partly because Jimmy Fortune reminds me so much of Uncle Ron.)
