I'm Only on a Journey Here

(Edna Loughlin and Harry West)



Though others plan a future here, I know there's none for me

l'm planning on a mansion bright When from this land l'm free

Though I must travel on the road Where clouds bed in the sky,

l'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by.



CHORUS: l'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and bye

This world is not my dwelling place, It's far beyond the sky;

I know that God is listening He hears my every cry,

I'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by.



Man's life on earth is short And filled with many cares,

Trials sad on every hand, And everywhere a snare,

But there is a dwelling place without a tear or sigh,

I'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by.
