Jessye Norman - Oh, What a Beautiful City Songtexte

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

Three gates in the east
Three gates in the west
Three gates in the north
Three gates in the south
That makes twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

My Lord built that city
Said it was just-a four square
Said he wanted you sinners
To meet him in-a the air
'Cause there's twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu

Three gates, three gates
Three gates, three gates
Then three gates plus three more gates
Makes twelve gates
Twelve gates a-to the city, hallelu
