This World Is Not My Home
Journey Beyond: Embracing the Heavenly Call in Jim Reeves' Melody
Lyrics
This world is not my home I'm just a passing through
This world is temporary; I am just passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
My true treasures are stored in a place beyond the sky.
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
Angels are inviting me through the open door of heaven.
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I don't feel a sense of belonging in this world anymore.
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
Expressing a close relationship with the Lord.
If heaven's not my home then lord what will I do
If heaven is not my destination, what should I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
Angels are still calling me from heaven's open door.
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I continue to feel a lack of connection with this world.
I have a loving mother just over in gloryland
Referring to a loving mother in the heavenly realm.
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand
The determination to meet the mother in heaven.
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door
The mother is eagerly waiting at heaven's open door.
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I feel out of place in this world due to the anticipation of reuniting with my mother in heaven.
Oh lord you know I have no friend like you
Expressing a deep connection with the Lord.
If heaven's not my home Then lord what will I do
If heaven is not my ultimate home, I am uncertain of my purpose.
The angels beckon me From heaven's open door
Angels are persistently inviting me from heaven's open door.
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore
The sense of not belonging intensifies in this world.
Just over in gloryland
Referring to a place called gloryland, symbolizing a heavenly abode.
We'll live eternally
Describing eternal life in gloryland.
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
The saints around are celebrating victory.
Their songs of sweetest praise
Heavenly songs of praise reach back from the shores of heaven.
Drift back from heaven's shore
The inability to feel at home in the current world deepens.
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore
Reiterating the disconnect with this world due to the heavenly call.
Oh lord, you know I have no friend like you
Reaffirming a unique and strong bond with the Lord.
If heaven's not my home Then lord what will I do
If heaven is not my final destination, I feel lost.
The angels beckon me From heaven's open door
Angels continue to beckon, emphasizing the divine invitation.
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore
The persistent sense of not belonging in this world.
