Verse 1
It haunts me so, this gloomy weight
That comes and goes without a trace
A thousand times my flesh embrace
A thousand more but if for grace
Chorus
To see the Lord, the promised land
Wherein all sin’s pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away
That blows away in light of Him
Verse 2
When battle lines become unclear
And the waging war is all I hear
Lord, sustain me with Your voice
And the choice to walk in truth
Chorus
To see the Lord, the promised land
Wherein all sin’s pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away
That blows away in light of Him
Bridge
That I might see this day
This waging war
Might go away
And be no more
That I might see his face
And hear Him say
Son, welcome home
The war is over
Chorus
To see the Lord, the promised land
Wherein all sin’s pearly gates look bland
And what was once a pearl now sand
That blows away
That blows away
That blows away in light of Him
Tag
Oh, go away
Oh, go away
Go away in light of Him
Oh, blow away
Oh, waging war of sin
