Theme: I dreamed of a City

2008.05.14





I dreamed of a city called Glory,
So bright and so fair.
When I entered that gate I cried holy;
The angels all met me there:
They carried me
And oh what sites I saw.
But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
He's the One who died for all."


Chorus:
Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, (holy) holy, (holy) holy."
Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
Glory to the Son of God."


I thought as I entered that city,
My friends all knew me well.
They showed me the streets of heaven;
Such scenes too numerous to tell;
I saw Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Mark, Luke and Timothy.
But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
He's the One who died for me."

photopoet As soon as I read the lyrics I thought of this traditional gospel song

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!

O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

Lovely images to accompany the gospel song. I especially like the first photo.

dadlak These are beatufiul...interesting that the stained glass isn't of traditional religious imagery...appeals to my Unitarian-Universalist spirit.
