Joe Offer Origins: This World Is Not My Home (30) ADD Version: This World Is Not My Home 17 Feb 18


I don't really like the version in the Folksinger's Wordbook (page 355), but here it is. It's more-or-less the Carter song, with the second verse missing.


I CAN'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE

[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 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.

Silber & Silber, Folksinger's Wordbook (Oak Publications, New York, 1973) page 355
