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...
