I LONG TO SEE THAT CITY

I long to see that city beautiful city of God

That city, New Jerusalem where the saints of old have trod

I long to see my mansion He has prepared for me

Yes I long to see that city there in eternity

CHORUS

It’s fifteen hundred miles square and the same distance high

Made of gold crystal clear like a jewel in the sky

Foundation made of jasper and gates made of pearl

I long to see that city coming down to this world

I long to see that city drink its water crystal clear

And eat fruit from the tree of life every month through out the year

And bask in His brilliant light shining out from His love

Yes I long to see that city coming down from above

CHORUS

I long to see that city and I know it won’t be long

I can almost hear the angels singing a victory song

Can almost hear them saying good servants welcome home

Yes I long to see that city with Jesus on His throne

REPEAT CHORUS
