My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along the trail that's winding always
Upward, this troubled world is not my final home

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

The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they borrowed for a while
And things of earth that cause my heart to tremble
Remember there only bring a smile

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

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, until the day
Until the day God calls me home
Until the day God calls me home
