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
