Oh, the glorious day when we arrive
And heaven?s gates are open wide
All our fear and pain will fade away
When we see You face to face
Our great and awesome King
You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified in Your city
And we, Your daughters and Your sons
Will see Your kingdom come in Your city
Love will reign and joy will have no end
When the cites go marching in
God we pray that You?d come soon
Cuz we will wait to be with You
Our great and awesome King
You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified in Your city
And we, Your daughters and Your sons
Will see Your kingdom come in Your city
When we?ve been there for ten thousand years
Our song will be the same
Praise the One who has brought us here
Jesus is His name, Jesus is His name
You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified in Your city
We, Your daughters and Your sons
Will see the kingdom come in Your city
My city
This is Your city, my city
