The City of God lyric originated from a poem written by Mark Benjamin and Michael Lawson
and was later adapted to music. We were honored to share in their work and turn it into song.
“City of God” lyrics
VERSE 1
The stars in the heavens
Still cry out in song
The wonders of how
they were made
The oceans and tides
Still dancing in time
One day their expanses will fade
CHORUS
Yet Your beauty
O Lord never ceases
Your merciful
Love never ends
Your Magnificence
Only increases
Forever and Ever
Amen
VERSE 2
The sun and the moon
And the earth and the sky
Their movements
Will finally be still
The comets and cosmos
Will come into line
At last all their courses fulfilled
BRIDGE
All the beauty
And brightness of Heaven
Will descend like
A dove on His Children
Oh We long for ... the City of God
Then we’ll stand at the
Throne of His Splendor
And rest in the arms our Father
Oh We long for the City of God
Yes, We long for the City of God
