My husband can sing most of this song which he learned from his father. However, we cannot find the title of it. Please advise if you know it.
Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you. If heaven were not my home, Oh Lord what would I do

I think the song your looking for is This World Is Not My Home. Here are the lyrics to it and I hope this helped you, God Bless.
This World Is Not My Home
Verse: 1
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing thru,
my treasures are laid up some where beyond the blue,
the angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in this world any more.
Chorus:
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you,
if heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do,
the angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in this world any more.
Verse: 2
My Savior pardoned me from guilt and shame I know,
I'll trust his saving grace while traveling here below,
I know he'll welcome me at heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in the world any more.
Verse: 3
I have a precious mother up in Glory land,
I don't expect to stop until I clasp her hand,
for me she waiting now at heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Verse: 4
The Saints in glory land are shouting victory,
I want to join their band and live eternally,
I hear the sweetest praise from heaven's open door,
and I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you. If heaven were not my home, Oh Lord what would I do
