There are moments in this life |
|
When it's hard to carry on |
|
When I think about my father |
|
And all the loved ones that are gone |
|
Friends and close relationships |
|
Somewhere on the other side |
|
They've passed into forever |
|
But the love has never died |
|
Sometimes this tired old world |
|
Starts bringing my heart down |
|
But you gotta bear the cross |
|
If you wanna wear the crown |
|
I often get impatient |
|
As Father Time keeps dragging on |
|
I've waded through the darkness |
|
Now I'm ready for the dawn |
|
I'm ready for the dawn |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the faithful carry on |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the pain of sin is gone |
|
In heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
As I read the morning paper |
|
It hits me once again |
|
We're surrounded by the evil |
|
Of a world that's dead in sin |
|
And the only sane conclusion |
|
That my crazy mind can reach |
|
Is to set my heart on heaven |
|
And to live the things I preach |
|
So I'm living every moment |
|
As if this day was my last |
|
Put my treasures where my heart is |
|
And forget about the past |
|
And if Jesus comes tomorrow |
|
I'll be ready to depart |
|
As He leads me to my mansion |
|
I'll be following my heart |
|
I'll be following my heart |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the faithful carry on |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the pain of sin is gone |
|
In heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
I've tried to go the distance |
|
But it's more than I can bear |
|
They say there's no more crying |
|
And no more dying there |
|
I've held on to the promise |
|
Who so ever will believe |
|
Will have life that's never ending |
|
I believe |
|
I believe |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the faithful carry on |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
|
Where the pain of sin is gone |
|
In heaven |
|
Oh Lord |
|
I want to see heaven |
