Twelve Gates to the City Songtext
von Solomon Burke

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah


Three gates in the east
Three gates in the west
Three gates in the north
Three gates in the south
Twelve gates to the city,
Hallelujah who are those children dressed in red?
There′s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
Must be the children that Moses led
There's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

My Jesus done just what he said
There′s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
He healed the sick and he raised the dead
There's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
