TRUE HOME

This world and all its beauty
Will some day fade away.
It’s just our temporary home-
Our dwelling place today.

God made us for far better.
He made our hearts to yearn.
There’s a pull from deep within us
And like a magnet, we return
To God who is our own true North
To God who guides our way
To God who’s made a place for us
On this earth we shall not stay.

I may marvel at a sunrise
As a moment out of time.
I may glory in the Autumn woods.
They are not truly mine.

I am just a lonely wanderer.
For a little while I’ll roam.
But I know Heaven is my future.
Earth’s not my own true home.
