Until Then
G7 C G7
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
C
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
G7 C F
Along a trail that’s winding always upward,
C G7 C F C
This troubled world is not my final home.
Chorus:
G7 C
But until then my heart will go on singing,
G C
Until then with joy I’ll carry on.
G7 A7 C7 F
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
D#º7 C G7 C F C
Until the day God calls me home.
The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they’re borrowed for a while;
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remember there will only bring a smile.
This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife;
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon;
When it’s released it’s destined for the skies.

Until Then

My heart can sing when I pause to remember

A heartache here is but a stepping stone
G7 C
Along the trail that's winding always upward
G D7 G
This troubled world is not my final home
D7 G
But until then my heart will go on singing
D7 G
Until then with joy I'll carry on
G7 C
Until the day my eyes behold that city
G D7 G
Until the day God calls me home
D7
The things I've earned will dim and lose their value
G
This weary toil it's borrowed for a while
G7 C
The things I've earned that cause my heart to tremble
G D7 G
Remember they will only bring us by
