Listen to “City of God,” the title track from Melanie Tierce’s debut album, “City of God”
Acoustic Video for “City of God”
The City of God lyric originated from a poem written by Mark Benjamin and Michael Lawson and
was later adapted to music. We were honored to share in their work and turn it into song.
“City of God”
VERSE 1
The stars in the heavens still cry out in song
The wonders of how they were made
The oceans and tides still dancing in time
One day their expanses will fade
CHORUS
Yet Your beauty O Lord never ceases
Your merciful Love never ends
Your Magnificence only increases
Forever and Ever Amen
VERSE 2
The sun and the moon and the earth and the sky
Their movements will finally be still
The comets and cosmos will come into line
At last all their courses fulfilled
BRIDGE
All the beauty and brightness of Heaven
Will descend like a dove on His Children
Oh We long for ... the City of God
Then we’ll stand at the throne of His Splendor
And rest in the arms our Father
Oh We long for the City of God
Yes, We long for the City of God
