by a world that's not our Home.

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.

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

And we'll keep watching,

For those clouds to roll away.
[Verse 8]

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.

Just telling all the world,
F
That heaven is the Hope.

Telling all the world,

That heaven is the Hope.

There'll be no more pain, and no more sorrow,

It could be today, it could be tomorrow,

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.
