This world is not my home

I’m just a stranger passing through

Until the trumpet sounds

I’ll be traveling here with you

Every day is survival

As I navigate this place

Learning more about the King

Until I see His face

I will wait patiently

As I take my blessings in

Appreciating the good

Through a world plagued by sin

For I too have been affected

By this world’s affliction

Though finding my peace in Him

His hope I give submission

As I travel this place

I will do and be my best

Knowing that I truly am

Eternally loved and blessed

Though I am a stranger here

For sin I too am known

Though I know I am forgiven

Through His love, that has been shown

For we are all but traveler’s

This life a temporary place

To get our hearts aligned right

For He’s our saving grace

Will you join me friend

As we take the path toward Him

Knowing that with God

This world is not the end

For we are but his children

Here, just passing through

Until He calls us home

I will be waiting here, like you

Enjoying my blessings

With gratitude each day

Walking with Him

As I navigate, learn and pray

For we are all but traveler’s

With the choice of our destination

To decide if we love the world

Or to accept the Kings salvation

As we travel along here

Our journey will come to an end

Where do you want to be

When that time comes my friend

This world is not my eternal home

It does not have to be yours too

You have a choice my friend

What will you choose to do

For someday that trumpet will sound

I want to go to His castle up above

Though until that happens

Here, I am guided with His love

Temporary place

Philippians 3:20 NIV

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Hebrews 13:14-16 NIV

For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
