[Verse 1]
D                         G              D
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing thru,
E7               A
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue.
D             D7      G7            D
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
B7   G       D     A7   D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Verse 2]
D                         G                   D
Oh Lord, oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;
E7                A
If heaven's not my home, then Lord, what will I do?
D             D7      G7            D
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
B7   G       D     A7  D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Verse 3]
D                     G                  D
They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know;
E7           A
my Saviour pardoned me, and now I onward go.
D                  D7         G7            D
I know he'll take me thru, tho' I am weak and poor,
B7   G       D     A7  D
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Verse 4]
D                        G            D
I have a loving mother, up in the Glory land;
E7              A
I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand;
D               D7    G7            D
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door,
B7   G       D     A7  D
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

[Verse 5]
D                        G            D
I have a loving mother, up in the Glory land;
E7              A
I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand;
D               D7    G7            D
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door,
B7   G       D     A7  D
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
