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! But until then, my heart will go on singing! Until then, with joy I'll carry on! Until the day when my eyes behold the city Until the day God calls me home! This weary world with all its toil and stuggle May take its toil of mysery and strife 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 the city Until the day God calls me home! What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see And I look upon His face-- the One who saved me by His grace When He takes me by the hand and leads me through the promised land What a day, glorious day that will be! Until the day my eyes behold the city Until the day God calls me home!
