There Is A City

There is a city on the other side
where hope abounds and love abides
where rivers flow both deep and wide
from the center of that city

There are no sick or suffering
with healing trees beside its stream
to enter in the nations dream
to see that awesome city

There reigns a King of great allure
none doubt His will, His heart so pure
all bend the knee, proclaim for sure
while living in that city

There is a way to journey close
gaze at the walls and hear the host
sing day and night, though night is toast
throughout that radiant city

There're gates of pearl and precious stone
but you must enter in alone
your invitation will be shone
proclaimed in that glorious city

There will be joy and things to do
a dwelling designed just for you
family. friends. both old and new
chill'n in that welcome city

There is a city on the other side
which will be there when the world has died
the beasts are chained and sinners tried
outside that righteous city
