Heaven

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 relations
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 I've got to bear the cross
If I want to wear the crown

I often get impatient
As the 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

So if I'm living every moment
As if this day was my last
I'll put my treasure 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, 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 try 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
Whosoever will believe
Would have life that's never ending
Well, 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
