[N] [G] [C]
[G]
[C] This world is not my home, I'm [F] just a passing [C] through.
My treasures are laid up [D] somewhere beyond [G] the blue.
[C] The angels [G] beckon [C] me from [F] heaven's [C] open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world [G] [C] anymore.
Oh [G] Lord, [C] you know I have no friend like you.
If heaven's not my home, then [D] Lord, what will [G] I do?
[C] The angels beckon me from [F] heaven's [C] open door,
And I can't feel at home [G] in [C] this world [G] [C] anymore.
I have [G] a loving [C] mother [F] just over in glory [C] land,
And I don't expect to stop [D] until I shake her [G] hand.
[C] She's waiting now for me [F] in heaven's open [C] door,
[G] And I [C] can't feel at home [G] in [C] this world [G]
[C] anymore.
Oh [G]
Lord, you [C] know I have [F] no friend [C] like you.

door,
And I can't feel at home [G] in this [C] world [G] anymore.
[C]
[G] [C]
Just over in [G] glory [C]
land we'll live [F] [C] eternally.
The saints on every hand are [D] shouting [G] victory.
Their [C] songs of sweetest praise drift [F] back from [C] heaven's shore,
And I can't feel at home [G] in this [C] world [G] [C] anymore.
Oh [G] Lord, you [C] know I [F] have no [C] friend like you.
If heaven's not my home, [D] then Lord, what will I [G] do?
