A new song in a new city

Posted on by Leendert van Gemeren

There will be a city one day
Where there will be no pain or sadness
And where we all sing songs of love
We will meet again one day

There will be songs of joy and praise
And we all sing together
Songs of love and awe for the Lord
Eternal songs for God

Johnny Cash will sing a happy song
And no more songs of hurt

Larry Norman will be there too
But singing on pitch, o yes he will

Keith Green will shout for joy
With all the other sheep separated from the goats

George Beverly Shea will be young again
Singing at the top of his lungs

Mahalia Jackson shall sing
But without a single tear on her face

Elvis Presley sings again a sober
Amazing Graze for us

And all those other godly singers
That we listened to before
They will be there in that city of gold

There will be songs of joy and praise
And we all will sing together
Those songs of love and awe for God
Eternal songs for the Lord

There will be a city some day
Where there will be no pain or sadness
And we all sing songs of love for Him
We will meet again there on that day

And I will be there too

About the Author

Leendert van Gemeren

This is me, Leendert. I am a little bit old-fashioned and I love things from the past, old series like All Creatures Great And Small and On The Buses, mechanical wristwatches, bi-focal glasses, the old Pub Clock in the living room and vinyl records on my Garrard record player for example. I like shiny rings, bracelets and necklaces. Eccentric. You can often find me in the kitchen at parties.
