Lyrics
More and more I feel like a stranger.
There's so much I don't understand.
Why a world so lost would not want a Savior and not want to take His hand.
It's not for me to question, so I leave it to One who knows.
For my heart is no longer of this world, it left here a long time ago.
I can't seem to get acquainted with this style of living today.
For my mind just keeps on wondering up to where my treasures are laid.
I can almost see the beauty, and at times I can hear the songs!
I can stay in touch with heaven, for my heart is already home.
And my heart belongs to heaven.
I've entrusted it all with the Lord.
Though my feet carry me anywhere I need to go, my heart is already home.

Meaning & Inspiration
My Heart Is Already Home expresses the tension of living in the present world while longing for heaven. The singer feels increasingly out of place amid values that reject the Savior, yet the lyric avoids presenting that discomfort as despair. Instead, confidence rests in the Lord, who understands what remains confusing and holds the singer’s ultimate treasure.
The central image of a heart already at home closely reflects Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:20–21: where a person’s treasure is, the heart will be also. Philippians 3:20 similarly describes Christian citizenship as being in heaven. These connections clarify the song’s repeated contrast between feet that continue to carry out earthly responsibilities and a heart entrusted to God. Glimpses of heavenly beauty and songs give the lyric a hopeful tone, while its final declaration emphasizes belonging. The song portrays heaven not as an excuse to withdraw from daily life, but as the destination and allegiance that shape how present life is understood.
