My heart can sing when I pause to remember

A heartache here is but a stepping stone

Along the trail that's winding always upward

This troubled world is not my final home

But until then my heart will go on singing

Until then with joy I'll carry on

Until the day my eyes behold the city

Until the day God calls me home

The things of earth will dim and lose their value

If we recall they're borrowed for awhile

And things of earth that cause my heart to tremble

Remembered there will only bring a smile

But until then my heart will go on singing

Until then with joy I'll carry on

Until the day my eyes behold that city

Until the day

God calls me home

But until then my heart will go on singing

Until then with joy I'll carry on

Until the day my eyes behold the city

Until the day

Until the day

Until the day God calls me home

Until the day he calls me home
