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
