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 relation   Somewhere on the other side   They've passed into forever   But the love has never died      Sometimes this tired old world   Starts bringing my heart down   But I've got to bear the cross   If I want to wear the crown   I often get impatient   As the time keeps dragging on   I've waded through the darkness   Now I'm ready for the dawn   I'm ready for the dawn      Chorus    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      So if I'm living every moment   As if this day was my last   I'll put my treasure 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   Following my heart      Repeat Chorus      I try 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   Whosoever will believe   Would have life that's never ending   Well I believe, I believe      Repeat Chorus
