lyrics

CHORUS: Oh, what a beautiful city, high up in the heavens,
what a beautiful city.
Waiting there for me, what a beautiful city.
12 gates into the city, hallelujah.

1. When I get to Heaven, I'm going to sing and shout.
Won’t be nobody up there who’s going to put me out,
Out of those 12 gates into the city, hallelujah.

2. When I get to Heaven, how beautiful it will be.
All those heavenly angels come down to welcome poor me,
Welcome to the 12 gates into the city, hallelujah.

3. When I think of those people up by those heavenly gates,
Singing with all of those angels, you know I just can't wait,
Waiting for the 12 gates into the city, hallelujah.
