This World Is Not My Home Songtext
von Bill Monroe

This world is not my home
I′m just a-passin' through
My pleasure and my hope
Are placed beyond the blue

Many friends and kindreds
Has 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


Oh 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

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

Heaven′s expecting me
That's one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus
A long time ago


He would take me through
Though I am weak and poor
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
