1. When I pause to remember
632
My heart can sing
When I pause to remember
A heartache here
is but a stepping stone

2. That’s winding always upward
632
Along a trail
That’s winding always upward
This troubled world
Is not my final home

3. My heart will go on singing
But until then
My heart will go on singing
Until then with joy
I’ll carry on

4. Until the day
My eyes behold the city
God calls me home

5. Will dim and lose their value they’re borrowed for awhile
632
The things of earth
Will dim and lose their value
If we recall
they’re borrowed for awhile

6. And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble
632
And things of earth that
cause the heart to tremble
Remembered there
Will only bring a smile

7. My heart will go on singing
But until then
My heart will go on singing
Until then with joy
I’ll carry on

8. Until the day
My eyes behold the city
God calls me home
