Holy City

Lyrics by Dennis L. Harrison

Listen to the words of this song.
It tells a real nice story.
A little bit sad.
It has a great ending.

I was out driving home one late foggy night.
I came to a curve; I should have turned right.
Over an embankment in a fiery crash,
My life passed before me in less than a flash.

I saw my poor body all lifeless and still.
So sorry for the person, my family they’ll tell.
Then I heard the Master say unto me,
“My good and faithful servant, come unto Me.”

Welcome to My holy, holy city.
I saved your life (I saved your life) with My sacrifice.
Welcome to My holy, holy city
Where you’ll never grow old, (Where you’ll never grow old)
Walk on streets of gold.

I started walking up those golden stairs,
My burdens all lifted.
I had no more cares.
Then a beautiful angel wiped all my tears.

I looked in the face of God without any fears.
We went in the throne room;
He sat on His right.
It was so awesome; the light was so bright.

The books were then opened.
I had no more shame.
Then the Lamb’s book was opened
And there was my name, and He said…

“Welcome to My holy, holy city.
I saved your life (I saved your life) with My sacrifice.
Welcome to My holy, holy city
Where you’ll never grow old, (Where you’ll never grow old)
Walk on streets of gold.”

All of a sudden, I saw my mom and my dad,
Lots of other loved ones, and few of my friends.
We all were rejoicing and praising His name,
Singing, “Holy, holy, holy,” and it would never end.

If you don’t know the Savior, you can just ask Him in;
He died on a cruel cross for all of your sins.
And then when it’s your time to pass away,
“My good and faithful servant,” is what He’s gonna say.

Quite a story, isn’t it?
It’s a good ending
because the man knew the Lord
as his personal Lord and Savior.
Because he died, he didn’t die in his sins.
God saw the blood that covers his sins,
And he was invited in.
Welcome, my good and faithful servant.
If you were to die tonight
yourself, tonight, right now,
where would you spend eternity?
I want you to ask that question to yourself.
Where would I spend eternity if I died tonight?
