Looking for a City Songtext
von Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends

Here among the shadows in a lonely land,
We′re a band of pilgrims on the move
Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand,
Looking for a city built above.


Looking for a city, where we'll never die,

There we′ll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.

Trusting in the blessed Saviors love;
Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care,
Looking for a city built above.

Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
There the sainted millions, never say good-bye,
There we′ll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes rene
