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 ion and prize
The goal on which I firmly fix my eyes
Reward of the faithful, desire of the wise
Heaven is my ion 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
