The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This world is not my home
Oh, this world is not my home
My home's been made at heaven's throne
This world is not my home
This life is not my own
Oh, this life is not my own
I am His and His alone
This life is not my own
I was bought when Love was slain
What high cost, to pay death's wage
Now ransomed, I am freedom's slave
My Jesus raised me from the grave
Come now and walk with me
Oh, come now and walk with me
Together we our Lord shall meet
Come now and walk with me
For I was bought when Love was slain
What high cost, to pay death's wage
Now ransomed, I am freedom's slave
My Jesus raised me from the grave
For I was bought when Love was slain
What high cost, to pay death's wage
Now ransomed, I am freedom's slave
My Jesus raised me from the grave
Soon Lord and very soon
Oh, soon Lord and very soon
You'll come take me to be with You
Soon Lord, very soon
