This Old Place

Verse:
Cleaning up at this old place, everything inside is gone
We sold the house to a stranger here, my family’s moved on
The cedar chest, the rocking chair, the old piano too
They’ve moved on to another place, so here’s what I must do.
Chorus:
Remember this is not my home, I just lived here for awhile
A place to live and laugh and love, making memories as a child
My real home waits on the other side where my treasures lie in store
I know I’ll grieve for this old place… but Heaven holds much more
Verse:
This old place reminds me of this earthly house of clay
We’ll trade for one that’s Glorified when the Lord returns one day
In our Fathers house above, there’s a mansion bright and fair
And the ones we loved in this old place are waiting for us there.
Chorus:
Remember this is not our home, we just lived here for awhile
A place to live and laugh and love making memories as a child
Our real home waits on the other side where our treasures lie in store
No need to grieve for this old place… for Heaven holds much more.
