i remember standing by my daddy's bedside
as the tears filled up the wrinkles on his face
when i held his withered hand he smiled and whispered
i am going to live in a better place
and i'll have eyes that will never fill with teardrops
i'll have legs that will never ache with pain
i'll have hands that will never rage and wither
and a heart that will never break again
i have often heard and read about that city
where with jesus we shall live forevermore
there are mansions in construction for my dwelling
and the streets of gold will run by my front door
and all the eyes of the blind will then be open
they will join the victory march
with the lame
and the death who has never heard the thunder
we'll rejoice to hear the savior call his name
and i'll have eyes that will never fill with teardrops
i'll have legs that will never ache with pain
i'll have hands that will never rage and wither
and a heart that will never break again
i'll have hands that will never rage and wither
and a heart that will never break again
