Holy City

There’s A Place That I’m Longing To Be.
There I’ll Live  Through Out All Eternity.   
It’s Prepared For Me A Mansion Over There,
It’s A Holy City and Nothing Down Here Can Compare.

I’ll See My Loved Ones That’s Gone On Before,
I’ll Live and Be Happy Over On The Other Shore.
The Streets of Gold I’m Longing To See,
But Jesus Will Be Heaven Enough For Me.

Jesus Is Waiting To Greet Me Over There,
He’s Prepared A Place Where I’ll Live In His Care.
It’s A Place Of Rare Beauty, Peace And Rest,
This Holy City’s for Those Who’s Stood The Test.

There’s A Place That I’m Longing To Be.
There I’ll Live  Through Out All Eternity.   
It’s Prepared For Me A Mansion Over There,
It’s A Holy City and Nothing Down Here Can Compare.
