Steffany Gretzinger – City of God Lyrics
[Verse 1: Steffany Gretzinger]
Your presence, the promise, Your fullness, the feast
I’ll keep oil in my lamp, love, keep me burning
‘Til the city, the city of God
In these earthen vessels, though broken and weak
Your glory is shining, through the cracks and the seams
‘Til the city, the city of God
[Pre-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger]
Oh, what a day, what a day that will be
[Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger]
When the Lamb will be the light
When the Lamb will be the light
No more sorrow, no more night
When the Lamb will be the light
[Post-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger]
Oh, the light
[Verse 2: Steffany Gretzinger, Steffany Gretzinger & kalley]
Sting of death is forgotten, and swallowed in life
Every sadness comes untrue, that’s the story You write
In the city, oh, the city of God
And joy overwhelming, as wedding bells ring
And we will be married, to our Bridegroom King
In the city, the city of God (Oh-oh-ohh)
[Pre-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger & kalley]
And oh, what a day, what a day that will be
[Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger, Steffany Gretzinger & kalley]
When the Lamb will be the light
When the Lamb will be the light
No more sorrow, no more night
When the Lamb will be the light
[Post-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger, kalley]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The light
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The light
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger, Steffany Gretzinger & kalley]
And oh, what a day, what a day that will be
Oh, what a day, what a day that will be
Oh, what a day, what a day that will be
[Chorus: Steffany Gretzinger, kalley, Steffany Gretzinger & kalley]
And the Lamb will be the light (What a day, what a day)
And the Lamb will be the light (What a day, what a day)
And all we’ve searched for, we find
In the Lamb who is the light
[Outro: Steffany Gretzinger, kalley]
The light (Ooh)
Oh, what a wonderful day (What a wonderful day)
What a glorious day (Ooh)
