The Light of that City
In this house we have built
of make believe
Loved ones go long before
seems it's time to leave
We will learn how to grieve
to forgive and receive
'Till we see them there
..in that city.
Span of stars overhead
as we walk this road
While this darkness remains
I will bear your load
And together we will tend
the seed He's sown
As we walk along the road
..to that city!
On that day we will sing "Holy, Holy!"
On that day we'll bow down in the light
And then we'll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ, on that day
Though my eyes can't see
what is waiting there
Though my mind can't conceive
all that He's prepared
There the blind will see the sun
what was old will be young
And the lame, the lame will run
all over the streets of that city!
On that day we will sing "Holy, Holy!"
On that day we'll bow down in the light
And then we'll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ, on that day
The Light of that City
In this house we have built
of make believe
Loved ones go long before
seems it's time to leave
We will learn how to grieve
to forgive and receive
'Till we see them there
..in that city.
