This world has never been my home
My life is not my own
A stranger and a traveller
I lived here on a loan
It’s been my joy to serve my Lord
As an ambassador of grace
To bow and worship at His feet
But I long to see His face

If today I make, my final stand
And my race comes to an end
I know that Jesus waits for me
My Savior and my friend
With whatever time is left
There’s a burning in my heart
As freely I received God’s gift
I want to give as I depart.
