[Intro]
Until the day my eyes behold the city
Until the day God calls me home
(Calls me home, calls me home)

[Verse 1]
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a steppingstone
Along a trail that's winding always upward
This troubled world is not my final home

[Chorus]
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
(Calls me home, calls me home)

[Verse 2]
This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon
When it's released, it's destined for the skies

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
(God calls me home)
