[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
