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
