This World is Not My Home

Cat. #1294 (MFH #897) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on November 25, 1971

VERSE 1
This world is not my home
I'm just passin' through
Heavens not my home
Lord, what will I do
The angels beckon me
From Heaven's open door
And I cain't feel at home
In this world anymore

CHORUS:
O Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
Heaven's not my home
Lord, what will I do
The angels beckon me
From Heaven's open door
An' I cain't feel at home
In this world anymore

VERSE 2
Have a lovin' Mother
Over in glory land
I don't expect to stop
Until I shake her hand
She's waitin' there for me
Heaven's open door
And I cain't feel at home
In this world anymore

VERSE 3
Just over in glory land
We'll live eternity
Saints on ever hand
Shoutin' victory
Th sun will sweet rephrase
From Heaven open door
An' I cain't feel at home
In this world anymore
