"The City" lyrics - COMMISSIONED
There's a city in the distance
I can see it oh so clear
The light is shining brightly
The glow it draws me near
Oh, more beauty each mile, in every mile
All the people wear a smile
It's the city of the master
And to go you must be changed
Yes, Jesus is the master of the city bright and fair
To dwell with Him in heaven
Is to live without a care
Oh, more beauty each mile, in every mile
All the people wear a smile
It's the city of the master
And to go you must be changed
Changed from this life of sin
To one that brings great joy within
Changed in the twinkling of an eye
We'll meet Him in the sky, in the sky
In the city of the master
To go you must be changed
Changed from this life of sin
To one that brings great joy within
Changed in the twinkling of an eye
We'll meet him in the sky
We'll be changed
In the land of fadeless days
Lies a city that's four square
Where we'll never have to toil
And the lamb shall live right there
God shall wipe away all tears
No more sorrow pain or fears
Where we'll count not time by years
And there will not be no darkness there
God shall wipe away your tears
No more sorrow pain or fears
Where we'll count not the time by years
And there'll be no darkness there
