This World Is Not My Home

by Merle Haggard

This world is not my home I’m just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

They’re all expecting me, and that’s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He’ll take me thro’ tho’ I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don’t expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He’s waiting now for me in heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Just over in Gloryland
We’ll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven’s shore
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore.

Enjoy this live performance of Alan Jackson‘s “Livin’ on Love” at a capacity crowd at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Colorado for his 25th Anniversary KEEPIN’ IT COUNTRY TOUR. He wrote this song and it was released in August 1994 as the second single from his album Who I Am. In late 1994, it became his ninth Number One hit on the Billboard country charts. It also reached number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

Livin’ on Love Lyrics

Alan Jackson

Two young people, without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle with just what they need
Living on love
She don’t care ’bout what’s in style
She just likes the way he smile
It takes more than marvel and time
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

Two old people, without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side on that front porch swing
Living on love

He can’t see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they walk through that door
Just living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime
It’s like that old fashioned storybook rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple that’s what you’re thinking
Love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love
No, It doesn’t take much, when you get enough
Living on love

God and Country Music Lyrics

George Strait

God and country music are like whiskey and a prayer
Like Johnny Cash’s arm around Billy Graham
God and country music
They both never change
You find ’em when you need ’em
Where you stand

There’s always lost in the found
And darkness in the I-saw-the-light
It’s living in the small towns
In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight

It’s a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water
There’s two things still worth saving
God and country music
God and country music

God and country music
They both showed you the truth
Seen the low of the valley
And the highs of the mountains too
Folded hands and guitar strings
Jukebox preachers and angels singing
Call you like they knew ya
Between the hell and hallelujah

There’s always lost in the found
And darkness in the I-saw-the-light
It’s still living in the small towns
In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight

It’s a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water
There’s two things still worth saving
God and country music
God and country music

There’s always lost in the found
And darkness in the I-saw-the-light
It’s still living in the small towns
In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
It’s a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water
There’s two things still worth saving

God and country music
God and country music
God and country music
God and country music
