I
There will be no more crying in heaven's fair city
for Jesus himself will wipe tears away.
There'll be peace and contentment and sweet joy forever
Lord I'm longing to go there someday.
II
I'll enter the presence of Jesus who saved me
at last I will see my Lord face to face.
In that beautiful throne room I'll bow down before him
I'm longing for heaven how long must I wait?
Chorus
I'm longing for heaven my heart's set on going
where the cold hand of death can reach me no more.
I almost see Jesus waiting to greet me
I'm longing for heaven more than ever before.
