Of all my songs this is my favorite one about Heaven...the Bible says there is a city prepared for us whose builder and maker is our God
Story behind the song
This song has been sung at many of my friends and families funerals...I wrote it to be sung at mine
Lyrics
I am longing to see that city
Where faith becomes sight
And I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light
I've been yearning to cross that river
That flows by God's throne
I am weary and need delivered
From this blind world I've known
I've been travlin' this lonely valley
With my faith leading me
But I won't need my faith yonder
Cause then I will see
Life's a mirror dimly shrouded
Darkened by fear
But that city will be unclouded
And our vision will be clear
I've been travlin' this lonely valley
With my faith leading me
But I won't need my faith up yonder
Cause then I gonna see
Face to face I will see His glory
Knowing as I am known
All my faith I wanna lay before Him
As a gift before His throne
I am longing to see that city
Where faith becomes sight
And I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light
Yes I am hoping to be there someday
In that city of light
In that city of light
