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

[Verse 2]
The things of earth will dim and lose its value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while
And all the things of earth that cause a heart trouble
Remember there will only be a smile

[Verse 3]
But until then, my heart shall go on singing
But until then, with joy, I'll carry on
Until my eyes behold the city
Until that day God calls me home
