This world is not what it was meant to be All this pain, all this suffering There's a better place waiting for me in heaven Every tear will be wiped away Every sorrow and sin erased We'll dance on seas of amazing grace In heaven, in heaven I'm going home, where the streets are golden Every chain is broken Oh, I wanna go, oh, I wanna go Home, where every fear is gone I'm in Your open arms, where I belong Lay down my burdens, I lay down my past I run to Jesus, no turning back Thank God Almighty, I'll be free at last In heaven, in heaven I'm going home, where the streets are golden Every chain is broken Oh, I wanna go, oh, I wanna go Home, where every fear is gone I'm in Your open arms, where I belong Blinded eyes will finally see The dead will rise on the shores of eternity The drum will sound, the angels will sing Hallelujah, hallelujah I am going home, where the streets are golden Every chain is broken Oh, I wanna go, oh, I wanna go Home, where every fear is gone I'm in Your open arms, where I belong Where I belong I'm going home I'm going home I'm on my way home I'm going home I'm on my way home
