I Can't Feel at Home in This World Anymore

This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through
My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue;
Where many Christian children have gone on before,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

cho: Oh Lord, You know I have no friend but you
     If Heaven's not my home, Oh Lord what would I do?
     Angels have taken me to Heaven's open door
     And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Over in glory land there is no dying there
The saints are shouting Vict'ry and singing everywhere.
I hear the voice of Nell that I have heard before
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Recorded by the Carter Family
