Mister, can you hear my name

Lost before they're ever heard

Laid down in the dirt and laughed
A prayer from saints to wash my sin

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.
Oh 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.
VS2
They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know
My saviors pardoned me and now onward I go
I know He'll take me through, though I am weak and poor
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 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.
TAG
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore...
