The World Is Not My Home Songtext
von Jim Reeves

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

Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord, what will I do?

The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can′t feel at home
In this world anymore


I have a loving mother
Just up in Gloryland
And I don′t expect to stop
Until I shake her hand

She's waiting 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
Then Lord, what will I do?

The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can′t feel at home
In this world anymore

Just over in Gloryland
We'll live eternally
The saints on every hand
Are shouting victory


Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven's shore
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
Then Lord, what will I do?

The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can′t feel at home In this world any more
