Bob Carlisle - Heaven Lyrics






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

    This was played at my Brother's funeral it was his favorite song he was a drummer and he played it over and over every day .I cry every time I hear it it reminds me of my brother I miss him so much

    R.... M....

    I'm so sorry for your loss, beautiful song

  8. N.... M....

    powerful song!!!

  9. V.... H....

    wonderfull!!!

  10. R.... K....

    The girl on the cover (yeah it's a girl) is the daughter of my former Pastor. He officiated my wedding in the late 90's #random

    R.... K....

    What a wonderful story and great image. I remember this was an important record, when I bought it in the 90s. God bless.

  11. R.... H....

    At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tounge confess Jesus is Lord! I used to cry as I drove when this song first came out

    R.... H....

    I still do after listening to it for several years. Something here you just can'texplain

  12. D.... H....

    I'm a non-believer, but no other song has tugged at my heart like this one.  Makes me wish I were a believer.

    D.... H....

    My prayer for you is that someday you will just place your trust in the One Who can make heaven possible for you.Your comment moved me because that's exactly where I was many years ago.

    D.... H....

    I was a Christian for many years. Not so sure anymore. But some songs want me to believe, because I can feel the spirit in some songs.

    D.... H....

    @Terry Reich That is because you still are a Christian who left GOD. HE did not leave you! HE is still there. I am where you are. I left HIM 10 years ago. I went MY way, and as HE warned me, I now have no wife after 29+ years, my two daughters live over 1000 miles in different states, even my dog got stolen! It took me a while to find this song. I was wholly living for him at that time. I started drinking again after 15 years of salvation. Been saved since June 29, 1988. Continued drinking until I lost everything and everyone (about 15 years.). Now I am (almost) all alone! Just tonight, I asked HIM to forgive me. I may not get my family back, but I know HE will see me through this! If you feel the spirit, HE's waiting...All you gotta do is respond, just as you did before! Praying for you! Please pray for me?

    D.... H....

    All believers have periods of doubt. Our creator knows this about us. What your feeling is very human. Evidence of the creator and his love for us is everywhere in his creation. Best wishes to you. Your not alone.

    D.... H....

    What's holding you back? Your heart knows the spirit world is real. There's a God who loves you, and he proved it by sending His only son to take the punishment for your sins. Believe it..

  13. j.... ....

    Mr Daniel Our best singer...
    We like you to stay with us don't see heaven
    Armenians suffered more than Jesus...
    There is no heaven...no hell all are lies...
    We don't want anyone to cheat us any more...
    Armenians skulls still are seen in DorZor...ungraved...uncanned...
    The earth is the hell which our enemies betrayed and killed slayed, raped...
    Your voice is beautiful...We wish to hear you always on this Earth ...
    "Here is the heaven...here is the Hell"
    When we hear your voice is our Heaven...

  24. A.... C....

    Come to Heaven with us. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. Ask Him to forgive your sins and to come into your heart. Live for Him, turn from your wicked ways and be ready because He is coming soon!

  25. A.... N....

    These guys would play in my car over and over as loud as possible. Why don't they play this stuff anymore?

  26. B.... C....

  27. J.... C....

  28. J.... C....
