Around me many are building Homes of beauty and wealth But what of a home in heaven Where will you live after death Are you building a home in heaven To live in when this life is o'er Will you move to that beautiful city And live with Christ ever more Long is the road that leads you To that beautiful home up there Is work on your home completed Death may be lingering near Are you building a home in heaven To live in when this life is o'er Will you move to that beautiful city And live with Christ ever more Are you ready for his coming Have you been true all along Have you finished your building in glory Will you move to this heavenly home Are you building a home in heaven To live in when this life is o'er Will you move to that beautiful city And live with Christ ever more
