If you can't carry the weight, hard keeping the faith for so long
If your caught up in a race, and you can?t find a place to call home
Deep in the valley you might find pain, lost and alone seeing no escape
So just hold on tight, the kingdom of heaven is near
When we finally get there, when we cross that Jordan shore
When we finally get there
When we all see Jesus, when death shall be no more
When we finally get there
If there's someone you love and they're on the other side
And your swept up in a flood from all of the tears you've cried
Even the valley of suffering is a vapor in light of eternity
So don?t you give up hope, the kingdom of heaven in near
We'll live forevermore, death shall be no more, glory to the Lord
