Can't Feel At Home

(album: The Carter Family Volume 1 - 1927-1934 - 2002)

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

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

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

Heaven's expecting me that's one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago
He will take me through though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh, I have a loving mother over in glory land
I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand
She's gone on before just waiting at heaven's 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, oh Lord, what would I do?
Angels taken me to Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
