Lyrics John Saw - Gold City

John Saw

John Saw
John saw jasper walls;
oh my, oh my, what a vision
John told of shining streets of gold
Where all God’s saints shall forever stroll
I’ve wondered time and again;
how could it have been
To gaze upon that heavenly throne
But I’ll wonder no more when I step on that shore
To walk upon the golden ground that John saw
1.John saw a land I know I’ll share
he saw a river, flowing there.
John tell me more, John tell me more, John tell it all
John saw a throne so bright and fair;
he saw the gate with beauty rare
Some day I want to walk the golden ground that John saw
John saw jasper walls;
oh my, oh my, what a vision
John told of shining streets of gold
Where all God’s saints shall forever stroll
I’ve wondered time and again;
how could it have been
To gaze upon that heavenly throne
But I’ll wonder no more when I step on that shore
To walk upon the golden ground that John saw
2.John heard a voice from heaven say
«I'll brush the tears, all tears away!»
John tell me more, John tell me more, John tell it all
He said, «No death shall enter there, no grief or pain for us to bear»
Oh, how I long to walk the golden ground that John saw
3.Just in the midst of paradise, John saw a tree, a tree of life
John tell me more, John tell me more, John tell it all
The sun and moon no longer shine;
the Lamb of God shall be the light
Forever shining on the golden ground that John saw.
John saw jasper walls;
oh my, oh my, what a vision
John told of shining streets of gold
Where all God’s saints shall forever stroll
I’ve wondered time and again;
how could it have been
To gaze upon that heavenly throne
But I’ll wonder no more when I step on that shore
To walk upon the golden ground that John saw
John saw jasper walls;
oh my, oh my, what a vision
John told of shining streets of gold
Where all God’s saints shall forever stroll
I’ve wondered time and again;
how could it have been
To gaze upon that heavenly throne
But I’ll wonder no more when I step on that shore
To walk upon the golden ground that John saw.
