LYRICS

I’m a citizen of heaven (hey, hey)

Hey, hey, hey

In this world, I don’t feel at home

Still, I know I don’t walk alone

Longing for the place

Where I can see Your face

And my joy will never end

So, let Your kingdom cover all the earth

(Let your kingdom cover all the earth)

A holy nation that puts you first

Every tribe and tongue

We will overcome

By the blood of the Lamb

I’m a citizen of heaven (hey, hey)

I’m a citizen of Heaven (hey, hey)

I’m a citizen of heaven

This world is not my home

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Ha yeah

Citizens of heaven (yeah)

We’re grateful to say

We’re the ones that’s been chosen (been chosen)

He’s coming back. He has spoken

Even if we don’t know exactly when

We get homesick, but we’ll be alright

We’re living by faith, not depending on sight

Walking in glorious light

Cause we don’t belong to the night

From every nation, every people, and tongue

We’re all steady, waiting for His kingdom to come

Good news on our lips, lost souls to be won

They can come home ‘cause the work has been done

We’re longing for that perfect place

Can’t wait to see our Saviour face to face

Can you believe this is all by His grace

You can understand why we’re running this race

Let His Spirit set pace

No more tears (no more tears)

No more death (no more death)

Wandering hearts (yeah)

Can find their rest (can find their rest)

Endless joy (yes)

In Your embrace (hey)

When we see You face to face (face to face)

Let’s go

I’m a citizen of heaven (hey, hey)

Uh, uh

I’m a citizen of Heaven

Citizens of heaven (hey, hey)

Yes

I’m a citizen of heaven

This world is not my home

Yes, we’re on a roll

This world is not my home

This world is not my home

Yes, uh, uh

I’m a citizen of heaven (hey)

Hey, hey

Let’s go (hey)

I’m a citizen of Heaven (hey)

Hey, hey

I’m a citizen of heaven (hey)

This world is not my home

Yeah, hey, hey, hey

Yeah

This world is not my home

(This world is not my home)

This world is not my home

Not our home

(Yeah, hey, hey, hey)

Jesus, you are my home

(This world is not my home)

Yeah

This world is not my home
