Well...
[Verse 1]
Well, I saw the new Jerusalem city
Long as deep as it was wide
Comin' down out of heaven, beautiful and holy
Prepared to be God's bride
[Verse 2]
And there's no more cryin' in the city
And no more death or pain
Everything's made new, It's the gospel truth
And the old things are passed away
(Can you help me, now?)
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, it's a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the City, hallelujah, Amen!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, I didn't see no temple in thе City
I saw God and the Lamb instead
I saw the Glory of God giving light
And thе Lamb was the lamp, like the revelator said
[Verse 4]
Every tribe, nation and tongue
They're walkin' together as one
And all the kings of the earth
Were bringing their worth into the city that needs no sun
(Can you help me, now?)
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, it's a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah, Amen!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Well, now the Alpha and the Omega
The beginning and the end
Well, the Lion and the Lamb, the Great "I AM"
Has got a message for every kind o' man
[Verse 6]
Tell me, is it worth it goin' to the City
To drink from the water of Life?
Well here there's no power, don't stay long
You've gotta inherit your eternal life
(Can you help me, now?)
[Chorus]
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
God knows, it's a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah, Amen!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
Well, there were three gates in the east
And three gates in the north
There were three gates in the south
There were three gates in the west
And that makes twelve gates to the City, hallelujah, Amen!
I say there were twelve gates to the City, hallelujah, Amen!
I say there were twelve gates to the City, hallelujah, Amen!
Whoa-oh-oh
