My heart can sing when I pause to remember A heartache here is but a stepping stone Along a trail that's winding always upwards 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 a while And things of earth That cause this heart to tremble Remembered there will only bring a smile This weary world, With all its toils and struggles May take its toll Of misery and strife O, but the soul of man is like a waiting falcon When it's released, It's destined for the skies! 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 Until the day my eyes behold that city Until the day God calls me home
