     C                         F              C
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through
   C                         D7                 G7
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
    C                       F             C
The angels beckoned me from heaven's open door
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
C                    F               C
Oh Lord, You know, I have no friend like You
   C                          D7               G7
If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do
    C                       F             C
The angels beckoned me from heaven's open door
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
  C                         F            C         
I have a loving mother just over in Gloryland
      C                      D7               G7
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand.
      C                     F             C
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
C                    F               C
Oh Lord, You know, I have no friend like You
   C                          D7               G7
If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do
    C                       F             C
The angels beckoned me from heaven's open door
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

     C                        F          C     
Just over in Gloryland, we'll live eternally
    C                        D7            G7 
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
      C                              F                  C
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
C                    F               C
Oh Lord, You know, I have no friend like You
   C                          D7               G7
If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do
    C                       F             C
The angels beckoned me from heaven's open door
      C                               G    C
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
