I've heard of a city John saw coming down from God out of Heaven The walls are of jasper, The gates are of pearl and the streets are pure gold He tells of a new (pure?)river of life that flows from the throne And when we have reached this Beautiful place, we'll be known as we're known Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore Lets meet by the river where loved ones dwell who've gone on before If you leave here first, just wait by the river If I leave you here, that's where you'll find me Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore If you leave me standing here on this earth, let's meet by the river It's such a good place for us to meet over there And after I find you, Let's go see Jesus, then lets go find dad and mother Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore Lets meet by the river where loved ones dwell who've gone on before If you leave here first, just wait by the river If I leave you here, that's where you'll find me Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore Lets meet by the river where loved ones dwell who've gone on before If you leave here first, just wait by the river If I leave you here, that's where you'll find me Let's meet by the river over on that beautiful shore
