HEAVEN IS MY HOME

If home is where the heart is,
I don’t belong to earth.
My eyes are fixed on heaven
I’ve been a pilgrim since birth.

Things of earth can’t hold me,
I walk by faith not sight.
I belong to heaven,
And Jesus is my delight.

It is to Jesus that I cling,
He is the pearl I prize,
I'm a citizen of heaven,
That’s where my treasure lies.

I pray that God accomplishes,
All He desires in me.
My once clenched fist I open,
To all His plans for me.

In the heavenly Kingdom,
Is a place prepared for me,
Won at an astounding price,
By Christ on Calvary.

Things of earth can't hold me,
I walk by faith not sight.
Yes, I belong to heaven,
And Jesus is my delight.
