This World is Not My Home ? The Monroe Brothers (from What Would You Give in Exchange For Your Soul?)
|
|
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 cant 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 beacon me
|
to heavens open door
|
and i cant 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 cant 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 beacon me
|
to heavens open door
|
and i cant feel at home
|
in this world anymore
|
|
heavens 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 cant 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 beacon me
|
to heavens open door
|
and i cant feel at home
|
in this world anymore
