lyrics

Heaven’s Growin’ Sweeter
By Joyce Groom

Chorus:
Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time
God’s amazing glories will be mine
This old world is growing dim
And I’m longing to see Him
Yes, Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time

Look around this troubled world
With sin on every hand
People search for happiness
And peace across our land
The Holy Bible tells us
That peace will never be
'Til God’s Kingdom comes
And Heaven we will see

Chorus:
Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time
God’s amazing glories will be mine
This old world is growing dim
And I’m longing to see Him
Yes, Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time

When pain consumes your waking hours
And nights are long and drear
Memories of olden days
Mingle with your tears
Jesus knows your hurts and fears
He suffered agony
Trust that He’s prepared
A better place to be

Chorus:
Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time
God’s amazing glories will be mine
This old world is growing dim
And I’m longing to see Him
Yes, Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time

When those most precious to you
Have left this world and gone
Prayers seem to go unanswered
For reasons yet unknown
When your heart is grieving
And tears fill your eyes
Lift them upward friend
And see beyond the skies

Chorus:
Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time
God’s amazing glories will be mine
This old world is growing dim
And I’m longing to see Him
Yes, Heaven’s growin’ sweeter all the time
