I have no castles, no earthly kingdom, 
But my cabin will do 'til I get home. 
My mansion's yonder on the hills of Glory. 
Oh, I hope my mansion sits near God's throne. 



Chorus 
Build my mansion next door to Jesus, 
And tell the angels I'm coming home. 
It doesn't matter who lives around me 
Just so my mansion sits near the throne. 

My mother's mansion may be close by me 
Across the golden avenue. 
She was the first one to teach me of Heaven 
And the very first one, Lord, to tell me about You. 



Chorus 
Build my mansion next door to Jesus, 
And tell the angels I'm coming home. 
It doesn't matter who lives around me 
Just so my mansion sits near God's throne.
