The singer expresses a longing to walk the golden streets, rest by the river, and worship the Lamb of God in that eternal city.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Perfomed by BAC Choir:

John saw a city that could not be hidden

John saw the city, oh yes he did

John caught a glimpse of the golden throne

Tell me all about it, go right on

Around the throne he saw the crystal sea

There's got to be more, what will it be

I want to go, to that city he saw


New Jerusalem 

Jerusalem

I want to walk your streets that are golden

And I want to run where the angels have trod

Jerusalem

I want to rest on the banks of your river

In that city, the city of God


John saw the lion lay down by the lamb

I want to know everything about that land

John saw the day but he did not see night

The lamb of God well, he must be the light

And he saw the saints worship the great I am

Crying worthy, worthy is the lamb

I want to go to that city he saw


New Jerusalem

Jerusalem

I want to walk your streets that are golden

And I want to run where the angels have trod

Jerusalem

I want to rest on the banks of your river

In that city, the city of God


Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Sing for the night is over

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna forever

Forever more

Jerusalem 

I want to walk your streets that are golden

And I want to run where the angels have trod

Jerusalem

I want to rest on the banks of your river

In that city, the city of God

The city of God

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

The city of God, is the city of God
