  			(chorus) 
 A         E7       A 
Around me many are building, 
D                    A 
Homes of beauty and wealth, 
     D                 A 
But what of a home in Heaven, 
                E7         A 
Where will you live after death, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
         D                  A 
Are you building a Home in Heaven, 
                              E7 
To live in when this life is over, 
          A             D        A 
Will you move to that beautiful city, 
               E7        A 
And live with Christ evermore, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
             D               A 
Long is the road that leads you, 
                           E7 
To that beautiful home up there, 
    A            D      A 
Is work on your home completed, 
          E7            A 
Death may be lingering near, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
               D       A 
Are you ready for his coming, 
                        E7 
Have you been true all along, 
           A              D          G 
Have you finished your building in glory, 
                       E7       A 
Will you move to this Heavenly Home,
