2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
I am looking for that city whose builder and maker is God.
These things that we see around us are all passing away. The things which are not seen are eternal.
Looking For A City
____________________________
Here among the shadows, (living) in a lonely land (With Strangers) — We’re a band of pilgrims on the move (Thru dangers). — Burdened down with sorrows, (And we’re) shunned on every hand, — (But we are) looking for a city built above.
CHORUS:
Looking for a city, where we’ll never die. — There the sainted millions never say goodbye. — There we’ll meet our Savior, and our loved ones, too. — Come, O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
In this land of danger (we are) going here and there, — (We’re simply) trusting in the blessed Savior’s love. — (And Mercy) Tho’ we may be strangers — (Living) in this world of care, — (We’re always) looking for a city built above.
