UNTIL THEN

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.

CHORUS
But until then, my heart
will go on singing,
Until then, with joy I’ll carry on,
Until the day mine 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’re borrowed for a while
And things of earth
that cause the heart to tremble
Remembered there,
will only bring a smile.

This weary world
with all its toil and struggle,
May take its toil of misery and strife,
The soul of man
is like a waiting eagle
When it’s released it’s destined
for the sky.
