“My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along the path that's winding always upwards
This troubled world is not my final home.
But until then, my heart shall go on singing
But until then, with joy, I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold that city
Until the day God calls me home”
