LOOKING FOR A CITY

We Are Looking For A City

I am looking for a city where there is joy and peace
I'm looking for a city where all my sorrows are released

I m looking for a city where there is sorrow no more
In that glorious city on GODS GOLDEN HEAVENLY SHORE

On the way to the city at CALVARY we stop to bow
Along the straight And narrow our journey begins it is all by faith now

Jesus walks beside us holding tightly to our hand
He tells us of the beauty of this distant, land

As we trust Him as our Savior, the one to whom we cling
Upon our feet new shoes we wear; on our finger a golden ring

He dresses us in garments of glorious translucent white
Fills our lamps with oil to take us through the darkest night

We never need to worry He is walking right beside
To lift us over craggy rocks, and through the raging tide

When we become tired and fear begins to assail
He speaks tenderly here Iam, in the stormy gale.

The more we learn to trust Him and hold tightly to His hand
The closer we get to heaven and by faith can see that land

I must confess I'm looking for a city, a new land far away
The city where I will stand victorious one bright and glorious day

While I am here on earth I'm a sojourner here below
My faith is kept alive by His promises I know
