Looking for a City

As I travel on the road to glory
I keep looking towards heav'n
Looking for the light of that heavenly city
Jesus has prepared
Storm clouds often gather all around us
Darkness surely falls
I've been looking for that heavenly city
Looking for the lights of home!

I've been looking for the lights of that City
Looking for a mighty long time
I've been looking, and I've been waiting
Hoping for it, by-and-by
I've been listening for the sounds of rejoicing
Over on the other shore
I've been listening for the sound of that City
Listening for the sounds of home!

I think I just saw a glimpse of heaven
Over in the Eastern sky
I think I just heard angels whisper
Saints, get ready to fly
Jesus is coming in the clouds of glory
Come back to gather his own
Can't you see the lights of that City?
Can't you see the lights of Home?

I've been looking for the lights of that City
Looking for a mighty long time
I've been looking, and I've been waiting
Hoping for it, by-and-by
I've been listening for the sounds of rejoicing
Over on the other shore
I've been listening for the sound of that City
Listening for the sounds of home!

I've been looking for the lights of that City
Looking for a mighty long time
I've been looking, and I've been waiting
Hoping for it, by-and-by
I've been listening for the sounds of rejoicing
Over on the other shore
I've been listening for the sound of that City
Listening for the sounds of home!

I've been listening for the sound of that City
Listening for the sounds of home!
