The Light of That City Songtext
von Allen Asbury

In this house we′ve built of make believe
Loved ones go long before seems it's time to leave
But we will learn how to grieve, to forgive and receive
′Til 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 One who′s the light, the light of that city


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, they 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 we will sing, "Holy, Holy, 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
He's the light of that City
