This Old Place

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

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

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

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
