My heart can sing when I pause to remember

A heartache here is but a stepping stone

Along a path that's always winding 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 that 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 this heart to tremble

Remembered there will only bring a smile

So 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

Until the day my eyes behold that city

Until the day God calls me home
