Beautiful City of Gold

Heard the Gary Waldrep Band sing this at Starvy Creek this past summer. The guy that played the mandolin sang it and absolutely tore it up! He had such a powerful voice and while I use the word "annointed" very carefully, I will use it here. He sang it in their first set and when they came back for the  second set they said they had so many requests from people to sing it again that they DID sing it again. I was absolutely taken with this song. It was stuck in my head for a good 2 months, the words running through my mind again and again.

Beautiful City of Gold (I wanna hear the Gary Waldrep Band sing it! Again and again)

Well there a city that looks o'er the valley of death

And it's glory has never been told

Where the lamb is the light, in the midst of the night...

in that beautiful city of gold

chorus:

Oh where the sun never sets

and the leaves, they never fade

and the righteous forever will shine like the stars

in that beautiful city of gold...

There will be no more sorrow, pain, sickness or death

and the saints, they will never grow old...

oh how I long for that city, where there never comes a night

In that beautiful city of gold...

chorus:

Oh where the sun never setsG

and the leaves, they never fade

and the righteous forever will shine like the stars

in that beautiful city of gold...

repeat 2^nd verse:

There will be no more sorrow, pain, sickness or death

and the saints, they will never grow old...

oh how I long for that city, where there never comes a night

In that beautiful city of gold...

chorus:

Oh where the sun never sets

and the leaves, they never fade

and the righteous forever will shine like the stars

in that beautiful city of gold...
