The City

Behold the city
She is deserted
Her streets are empty and cold
The hordes who bled her have left her dying
They took her beauty and wealth

This city's found within us all if we seek
We will find a desolated and wasted land
If we seek there is a child running through the streets
With no home and no hope for a place to sleep

Behold the city, she is deserted
Her streets are empty and cold

Behold the kingdom of light
Behold the river of life
Behold the streets full of dance and joy
Let thy kingdom come
Let thy kingdom come

Behold the city
Her heart is broken
She cries for mercy and help
I hear her moaning in desparation
They took her laughter away

Where is the multitude that filled her with joy
Can you see
Where all the days of her wellfare went
Can't you see
Her martered body is about to decay
But her spirit will find a new place to stay

Behold the city
Her heart is broken
She cries for mercy and help

Behold the kingdom of light
Behold the river of life
Behold the streets full of dance and joy
Let thy kingdom come
Let thy kingdom come
Behold the kingdom of light
Behold the river of life
Behold the streets full of dance and joy
Let thy kingdom come
Let thy kingdom come
