I’ll arrive at my destination
A city like no one living has ever known
The Spirit at work within me
Creates such an awesome hunger
To finish the race and turn for home
Chorus:
Heaven is my passion and prize
The goal on which I firmly fix my eyes
Reward of the faithful, desire of the wise
Heaven is my passion and prize
I long to be single minded
And leave all the things I cling to
Throwing off all that hinders and weighs me down
Leaving the past behind me
I run for the goal before me
To finish the course and gain the crown
Chorus
One glorious day, I’ll live in a body that knows no decay
Oh, how I live for that day when I will naturally trust and obey
Chorus
One day I’ll complete my journey I’ll arrive at my destination A city like no one living has ever known The Spirit at work within me Creates such an awesome hunger To finish the race and turn for home Chorus: Heaven is my passion and prize The goal on which I firmly fix my eyes Reward of the faithful, desire of the wise Heaven is my passion and prize I long to be single minded And leave all the things I cling to Throwing off all that hinders and weighs me down Leaving the past behind me I run for the goal before me To finish the course and gain the crown Chorus One glorious day, I’ll live in a body that knows no decay Oh, how I live for that day when I will naturally trust and obey Chorus Explain Request ×
