Lyrics:
“Build My Mansion (Next Door To Jesus)”
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 throneI have no castles, no earthly kingdom
But this 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 throneJust 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 throneMy 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 to tell me about youSo 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 throneIt doesn’t matter who lives around me
Just so my mansion sits near God’s throne
