CAN'T FEEL AT HOME
(as sung by the Carter Family)
[Verse 1]
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 Victory and singing everywhere;
I hear the voice of them that I have heard before,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you,
If Heaven's not my home, Oh Lord what would I do?
Angels beckon me to Heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
