Heaven is looking brighter this world is growing dim,
The more I love my Savior
And the more I hate my sin.
The simple pleasures of this life are mixed with pain and care.
Oh this world can't hold an candle to what awaits me over there!
When I was just a little child I heard about a place called heaven. But earthly fascinations help my attention then
So many childhood hopes and dreams had a lifetime to come true
And heaven didn't thrill me I had way too much to do
But now
Heaven is looking brighter this world is growing dim,
The more I love my Savior
And the more I hate my sin.
The simple pleasures of this life are mixed with pain and care.
Oh this world can't hold an candle to what awaits me over there!
Heaven seems much closer to me every year that passes by each milestone I've arrived at brought a heartache and a sigh. though God can grant abundant life to all the saints below In heaven God will wipe out every heartache every woe
That's why
Heaven is looking brighter this world is growing dim,
The more I love my Savior
And the more I hate my sin.
The simple pleasures of this life are mixed with pain and care.
Oh this world can't hold an candle to what awaits me over there!
While I am still a pilgrim, sins curse I must endure. And daily is my struggle to escape temptations lure while inward battles weary me they cause me to become a little more excited
For I can't wait till victory's won
And If some day by providence I reach three score and ten,
I likely will be ready to leave this planet then for fewer things attract me than ever have before and greater is my longing to I want to walk through Heaven's door
Heaven is looking brighter this world is growing dim,
The more I love my Savior
And the more I hate my sin.
The simple pleasures of this life are mixed with pain and care.
Oh this world can't hold an candle to what awaits me over there!
Oh this world can't hold a candle (oh this world can hold a candle,) oh this world can't hold a candle... to what awaits me over the-e-ere
I can't wait!
