city of god

city of god
key of D
4/4 time

i see a future
i see a country
i see a city with streets of gold,
where we won't grow old.

i keep my hope there.
i keep my eyes there.
lord, keep my heart there so i'll be bold,
and your story's told.

(chorus)

and we praise you know

and we'll praise you then

for ages and ages

and ever and ever,

amen.


i see the present
i see our country
i see our city with streets of pain
with more loss than gain.

lord bring your hope here
lord open eyes here
lord soften hearts here, let mercy flow
and your glory show.

(chorus)

i see a future...
