Heaven - Allies

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 passed 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
