The City I Wish To Be Poem by Falana Zion

I wish to be, in that city
Where the walls are made of Gold
Glittering and sparkling like a precious stone
Built on twelve foundation stones
Built with jasper, sapphire and agate
Onyx, carnelian and Chrysolite
Beryl, Emerald and Topaz
Chrysoprase, Jacinth, and Amethyst

I wish to be, in the city
Where night never comes
Where nations walk with the light of the king
A city where light never fails
Where lies and sins never crave
Where flowers sing with their lovely scent and melodious tape

I wish to see
How glorious the tree will be
The tree that bears the fruit of life
Its fruit I long to eat and never die

God help me to be
In that home above the sky
Where night will never appear
Where lamps will be useless
For His glory: the night will never cease
Be my guide and the light
As I tread the path to the field of stars
Where river of life flows for all to drink
For death will be silent and never stings
