.
If you're awed by this world and all its beauty,
Many stately mansions daily you may see.
But without great wealth I'll never own one;
You will neither, if you're no more rich than me.
But if your soul will look beyond what man is building,
You may see what earthly mortals may not see.
On the other side of Jordon there's construction
On a mansion being built just for me.
Refrain:
And wait'll you see my brand new home!
Wait'll you see its beauty rare;
Nothing down here can compare.
Just wait'll you see my brand new home!
My heavenly father's building me;
I'm gonna occupy for free.
Just wait'll you see
My brand new home.
My new home will not be built upon foundations
That are made by man and will some day pass away.
It won't be built where the storms of life can batter,
Where the storm clouds often hide the light of day.
But the cornerstone of God is my foundation.
Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Coming King.
What a welcome and homecoming that awaits me;
I'm expecting any day to move right in.
