Until I Start Looking Ahead lyrics

My view of this journey
Is one of despair
This morning is laden with prayer
Then God's Word speaks sweetly
Of a holy white city
From that point I look just ahead

I see banners waving
In a land called Heaven
Say, "Here, not one tear will be shed"
My way seems so hard
My day looks so dark
Until I start looking ahead

Lord, the moment I'm dwelling
In a place with no pain
A place where there's joy, peace and rest
Sometimes I see nothing
But sorrow and suffering
Until I start looking ahead

I see banners waving
In a land called Heaven
Say, "Here, not one tear will be shed"
My way seems so hard
My day looks so dark
Until I start looking ahead
Press on
It won't be very long, not long
Until we reach that land of song

I see banners waving
In a land called Heaven
Say, "Here, not one tear will be shed"
My way seems so hard
My day looks so dark
Until I start looking ahead, ahead
Looking ahead
