This world is not my home song by Jim Reeves with Lyrics

This world is not my home
I'm just a-passing through
My treasures are laid up
Somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do.
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
I have a loving mother
Just hovering up in Gloryland
And I don't expect to stop
Until I shake her hand.
She's waiting now for me
In heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do.
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
--- Instrumental ---
Just over in Gloryland
We'll live eternaly
The saints on every hand
Are shouting victory.
Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord what will I do.
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore...

My husband, who was a mountain of a mountain man, would throw back his head and sing this song in his best bluegrass voice. Heaven's Door beckoned him home. He's in heaven now. I miss him. But through the grace of Jesus, I will meet him again.❤

this song teaches us a lot if only we'll listen carefully to the lyrics

[reubenczonunpuia]

During a communal civil war, i was made to leave my home and hometown. And had nowhere to go. I lived out of a hostel in a different state and admired peoples home. I have lost all faith and myself.This song gave me Christ and senses that this world is not my home.Heaven was /is/always my eternal home with endless happiness and joy. Jesus is my home. Jesus is my salvation and savior 🙏
