[Verse 1]
     D                         G              D
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through,

   D                          E7               A
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue.

    D             D7      G7            D
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Chorus]
D                   G                   D
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;

   D                          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,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Verse 2]
  D                          G            D
I have a loving mother, just over in Gloryland;

      D                      E7              A
And 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,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Chorus]
D                   G                   D
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;

   D                          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,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Verse 3]
     D                       G           D
Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally,

    D                        E7            A
The saints on ev'ry hand are shouting victory.

      D                 D7           G7                 D
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Chorus]
D                   G                   D
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you;

   D                          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,

      D             B7   G       D     A7  D
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
