[Verse 1]
Though for now we walk down roads of sorrow
Underneath this heavy weight of grief
Soon there'll be a bright and glorious morning
Where we'll find our joy at last complete

[Chorus]
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that's missing there is tears

[Verse 2]
Though for now we feel the ache of parting
Burdened with the pain of sad goodbyes
Yet, we cling to that great hope He's promised
Of a glad reunion in the sky

[Chorus]
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that's missing there is tears

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
If you listen close, you'll almost hear it
Oh, the melody that's rising sweet
Of the faithful saints gone on before us
Gathered safely 'round our Savior's feet

[Chorus]
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
And the only thing that's missing there is tears

[Outro]
Every heart made whole
Every eye is clear
And the only thing that's missing there is tears
