What a wonderful beautiful picture I held Of a place without sorrow or fear And I'm going to live in that city one day For my days are all numbered down here My Lord keeps a record Of the moments I'm living down here Yes, He knows all about me All my troubles my sorrows my shame I living each moment through the mercies Of God's love and grace Someday He will call me To the wonderful beautiful promised place Now I walk to be doing the will of my lord As I travel this wearisome land So I will not be ashamed of my record When I stand at my savior My Lord keeps a record Of the moments I'm living down here Yes, He knows all about me All my troubles my sorrows my shame
