Verse 1
My heart can sing
When I pause to remember
A heartache here
Is but a stepping stone
Along a trail
That's winding always upward
This troubled world
Is not my final home
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
The things of earth
Will dim and lose their value
If we recall
They're borrowed for a while
And things of earth
That cause the heart to tremble
Remembered there
Will only bring a smile
Verse 3
This weary world
With all its toil and struggle
May take its toll
Of misery and strife
The soul of man
Is like a waiting falcon
When it's released
It's destined for the skies
