Looking For A City

(By Marvin Dalton)

Verse 1
Here Among The Shadows In A Lonely Land,
We’re Band Of Pilgrims On The Move;
Burdened Down With Sorrows, Shunned On Every Hand,
Looking For A City Built A-bove.

Verse 2
Here In Disabppointment, We So Sadly Roam,
Friends No Longer Speak One Word Of Love;
We Have Found Contentment, Promised Us A Home,
Looking For A City Built A-bove.

Verse 3
In This Land Of Dangers, Going Here And There,
Trusting In The Blessed Savior’s Love;
Tho’ We May Be Strangers, In This World Of Care,
Looking For A City Built A-bove.

Chorus
Looking For A City, Where We’ll Never Die,
There The Sainted Millions, Never Say Good-By,
There, We’ll Meet Our Savior, And Our Loved Ones, Too,
Come O Holy Spirit, All Our Hopes Re-new.
