Lyrics

The Light of That City
Written by John and Anne Barbour

(Verse 1)
In this house we’ve built of make believe
Loved ones go long before, seems it’s time to leave
We will learn how to greave, to forgive and receive
Until we see them there in that city

Span of stars over head as we walk with road
While this darkness remains I will bear your load
And together we will tend, the seeds he’s sown
As we walk along the road to that city

(Chorus)
On that day we will sing Holy, Holy
On that day, we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise, and turn our eye’s
To the one who’s the light, the light of that city

(Verse 2)
Though my eyes can’t see what is waiting their
Though my mind can’t conceive all that he’s prepared
Their the blind will see the son
What is old will be young and the lame
They will run, all over the streets of that city

(Chorus)
On that day we will sing Holy Holy
On that day, we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise, and turn our eye
To the Lord Jesus Christ

Cause on that day, we will sing, Holy…
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy
On that day, we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ
Cause He’s the light of that city

He’s the light of that city
The one true light
He is the light
