I
FOR SO LONG NOW I HAVE TRAVELED IN THIS FOREIGN LAND
AND NOW I'M GETTING HOMESICK TO GO
I WANT TO GO WHERE JESUS AND LOVED ONES WAIT FOR ME
I THOUGHT I HEARD THE ANGELS SINGING THEIR SONG
CHORUS
OH YES I HEAR THE SOUNDS OF THAT CITY
I HEAR DAVID PLAYING, I HEAR ANGELS SINGING
I HEAR SAINTS SHOUTING OVER THERE
OH I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO STEP INSIDE THE GATE
OH YES I HEAR THE SOUNDS OF THAT CITY IN THE AIR
II
THIS WORLD HAS LOST ITS GLITTER I WANT NO WEALTH OR FAME
ITS BEAUTY AND ITS TREASURES AREN'T FOR ME
FOR I'VE HAD AN INVITATION TO LIVE WITH CHRIST THE KING
I NOW CAN HEAR SOUNDS OF THE JUBILEE
