Well, i ve heard a million times
In many songs and rhymes
I ve witnessed arguments about how it will be
Will it be every living eye
To see him coming in the sky
And what about the midnight cry, i hear them say
Are the streets like i was told
Are they really made of gold
And will jerusalem be built where it is now
How can there be a crystal sea
If the sea has ceased to be
All these questions annoy me, i just don t care
Cause i want to be there
I just want to be there
And sit at my jesus' feet
I wanna be there
I just don't care about the crown
Or the color of the gown
As long as jesus is in town i wanna be there
I know there are things in this life that we can t understand
There are moments we tend to forget where we belong
Sure, there s time yes, there s wealth in that beautiful place
But all i want is to see him face to face
I just want to be there
I just want to be there
And sit at my jesus' feet
I wanna be there
I just don't care about the crown
Or the color of the gown
As long as jesus is in town i wanna be there
