Notes About The Poem

Looking For That Great City

For: Constance La France
Contest: Write a Beautiful Rubaiyant

Looking for a city, where death's no fear  
I believe there's a city far from here
One glorious city with streets of gold
In that city, I'll see again those dear

In that city by Jesus be consoled
The walls of twelve beautiful stones behold
There the sainted millions, never say goodbye
Being there is a reward of ninefold

In that awesome city, above the blue sky
In the place, where my tears Jesus will dry
Here on this earth evil lurks everywhere
Illnesses come at us, germs lie nearby

In that city, Jesus' light will be there
His beauty above all on earth to compare
Looking for a city built by Jesus
I'll never ever want to be elsewhere
