Henry's Gospel - There's An Unseen Eye Watching You (feat. Gloria Bailey)

There's a holy and beautiful city
Whose Builder and Ruler is God;
John saw it descending from Heaven
When Patmos, in exile, he trod;
Its high, massive wall is of jasper
The city itself is pure gold;
And when my frail tent here is folded
Mine eyes shall its glory behold

In that bright city, pearly white city
I have a mansion, a harp, and a crown;
Now I am watching, waiting, and longing
For the white city John saw coming down

No sin is allowed in that city
And nothing defiling or mean;
No pain and no sickness can enter
No crepe on the doorknob is seen;
Earth's sorrows and cares are forgotten
No tempter is there to annoy;
No parting words ever are spoken
There's nothing to hurt or destroy

No heartaches are known in that city
No tears ever moisten the eyes;
There's no disappointment in Heaven
No envy and strife in the sky;
The saints are all sanctified wholly
They live in sweet harmony there;
My heart is now set on that city
And some day its blessings I'll share

My loved ones are gathering yonder
My friends too are passing away
And soon I shall join their bright number
And dwell in eternity's day;
They're safe now in glory with Jesus
Their trials and battles are past
They overcame sin and the tempter
They've reached that fair city at last
