We are surrounded,

by a world that's not our Home.

with a void that won't be filled.

Heaven is the Promise for me and for you

That all we really are is passing through

to something better.
[Chorus 2]

Weeping may last all through the night,
C
But Joy is gonna come with a Morning Light.

Heaven is the place for you and I

are gonna live forever.

And every sickness,

will be healed once and for all.

And every burden we have bear,
F C
will finally fall.

[Verse 7]
F
So we'll keep waiting,
Dm F
Just a few more weary days.

And we'll keep watching,
F C
For those clouds to roll away.
[Verse 8]
F
And we'll keep walking,
Dm F
Down this straight and narrow road,
F C
Telling all the world,
[Bridge 4]
F
That heaven is the Hope.
C
Just telling all the world,
F
That heaven is the Hope.

Telling all the world,
F
That heaven is the Hope.
[Chorus 8]

There'll be no more pain, and no more sorrow,
C
It could be today, it could be tomorrow,

But until He calls us home,
C
Heaven is Our hope.
[Chorus 9]
F
My heart can't wait till that day comes,
C
I'm gonna hear Him say,"My child, well done".
F
Till it come my time to go,
C
Heaven is the Hope.
