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 relationships Somewhere on the other side They've pa**ed into forever But the love has never died Sometimes this tired old world Starts bringing my heart down But you gotta bear the cross If you wanna wear the crown I often get impatient As Father 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 As I read the morning paper It hits me once again We're surrounded by the evil Of a world that's dead in sin And the only sane conclusion That my crazy mind can reach Is to set my heart on heaven And to live the things I preach So I'm living every moment As if this day was my last Put my treasures 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 I'll be 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've tried 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 Who so ever will believe Will have life that's never ending 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
