I
JOHN TELLS OF A CITY
HE SAW COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN
THE WALLS ARE OF JASPER THE GATES ARE OF PEARL
AND A STREET OF PURE GOLD
HE TELLS OF A PURE RIVER OF LIFE
THAT FLOWS FROM THE THRONE
AND WHEN WE HAVE REACHED THAT BEAUTIFUL
LAND WE'LL KNOW AS WE'RE KNOWN
CHORUS
LET'S MEET BY THE RIVER OVER ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE
LET'S MEET BY THE RIVER WHERE LOVED ONES DWELL
WHO'VE GONE ON BEFORE
IF YOU LEAVE HERE FIRST JUST WAIT BY THE RIVER
IF I LEAVE YOU HERE THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME
LET'S MEET BY THE RIVER OVER ON
THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE
