One of our family’s favorite CDs is Live From Paris by Acappella. We can’t help singing along with these amazing guys whose only instruments are their voices. And when I hear this one, my emotions get me every time…my husband and I both want it played at our funerals! What a song of celebration it is!
Holy City
–Acappella lyrics
You know that I’m gonna view that holy city
Oh, I’m gonna view that holy city one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna view that holy city
I’m gonna view that holy city one of these days, one of these days
You know that I’m gonna meet my loving Jesus
Oh, I’m gonna meet my loving Jesus one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna meet my loving Jesus
I’m gonna view that holy city, (and I will) meet my loving Jesus one of these days, one of these days
You know that I’m gonna sit at the welcome table
Oh, I’m gonna sit at the welcome table one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna sit at the welcome table
I’m gonna view that holy city, (and I will) meet my loving Jesus, (we’re gonna) sit at the welcome table one of these days, one of these days
You know that I’m gonna feast on milk and honey
Oh, I’m gonna feast on milk and honey one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna feast on milk and honey
I’m gonna view that holy city, (and I will) meet my loving Jesus, (we’re gonna) sit at the welcome table, (and we will) feast on milk and honey one of these days, one of these days
Bridge:
You know that I’m…
One of these days… I’m
Way up there with my Lord
Hey… I… won’t be tired no more
You know that I’m gonna sing and never get tired
Oh, I’m gonna sing and never get tired one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna sing and never get tired
I’m gonna view that holy city, (and I will) meet my loving Jesus, (we’re gonna) sit at the welcome table, (and we will) feast on milk and honey, (keep singing) sing and never get tired one of these days, one of these days
You know that I’m gonna view that holy city
Oh, I’m gonna view that holy city one of these days, Hallelujah!
I’m gonna view that holy city
I’m gonna view that holy city, (and I will) sing and never get tired, (we’re gonna) sing and never get tired, (and we will) sing and never get tired, (oh, we’re gonna) sing and never get tired one of these days, one of these days
