Looking For A City Lyrics & Chords

By The Gaithers | Chuck Wagon Gang

Verse 1

(D)Here among the shadows (G)in a lonely (D)land, 

We're a band of pilgrims on the (A)move; 

(D)Burdened down with sorrows, (G)shunned on every (D)hand, 

We are Looking for a city (A)built (D)above. 



Chorus

(D)Looking for a city, (G)where we'll never (D)die, 

There the sainted millions, (E)never say good(A)by, 

(D)There we'll meet our Savior, (G)and our loved ones (D)too, 

Come O Holy Spirit, (A)all our hopes (D)renew. 



Verse 2

Here in disappointment we so sadly roam, 

Friends no longer speak one word of love; 

O we have found contentment, Jesus promised us a home, 

And I'm looking for a city built above. 



Chorus

We're looking for a city, where we'll never die, 

There the sainted millions, never say good-by, 

There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, 

Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. 



Verse 3

In this land of dangers going here and there 

Trusting in the blessed Saviors love; 

Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care, 

Looking for a city built above.
