The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm looking for that city
Abraham believed God made by hand
John saw it I believe it
By faith I see that city coming down
Some sweet day I'll walk upon the golden streets of glory
And with the lamb of God I will sit down
In awesome splendor talk it over
With Him who is the way to glory-land
Streets of gold and living fountains
John looked and saw that city coming down
Gates of pearl walls of jasper
Through eyes of faith I almost see it now
Oh what a wondrous time will be when with the angels singing
I look upon the one who set me free
And I will praise Him though endless ages
Oh hallelujah Jesus is His name
Oh hallelujah Jesus is His name
