This World Is Not My Home Lyrics
1 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.
Chorus:
O 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.
2 They’re all expecting me, and that’s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He’ll take me thro’ tho’ I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus]
3 I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don’t expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He’s waiting now for me in heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus]
4 Just up in glory-land we’ll live eternally,
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. [Chorus]
This World Is Not My Home Hymn Story
“This World Is Not My Home” is a hymn that was written by AP Carter in 1931. It was arranged into music by Albert Edward Brumley in 1937.
This song expresses the belief that has been held by saints throughout history who see this world as not their home. Their home is in heaven.
Jesus promised those who believe in him that he has gone to heaven to prepare mansions for them. And that he will come back to take saints to live with him in heaven.
Here on earth, we may go through all sorts of afflictions and persecutions, but it is the belief that one day the arch angel will sound the trumpet and the saved of earth will be caught up to meet the Lord in the sky and be with him forever, that soothes us.
Albert E Brumley was born on 15th November 1977 in Springfield, Missouri. He studied music at Hartford Musical Institute in Arkansas.
He later became a music teacher in Missouri.
He later created a music company called Albert E Brumley and Sons Music Company. He is reported to have written eight hundred hymns.
