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
|
