My Father's Home

No matter where I travel,
No matter where I roam,
I'm in my Father's kingdom,
So everywhere is "home."

My ceiling's made of fluffy clouds
Afloat in skies of blue,
My carpet's woven out of grass
And flowers fresh with dew.

My walls are made of mountains
And woods of stately trees,
My home is warmed by sunshine,
And in summer, cooled by breeze.

For joy and entertainment,
I have a constant show-
Songbirds singing, sunbeams dancing,
Dawn and dusk aglow.

And when my earthly days are done,
And I no longer roam,
I'll still be in His kingdom-
I'll be in my Father's home!
