well i ve heard a million times in many songs and rhymes i ve witnessed arguments about how it will be will it be every living eye to see him coming in the sky and what about the midnight cry i hear them say are the streets like i was told are they really made of gold and will jerusalem be built where it is now how can there be a crystal sea if the sea has ceased to be all these questions annoy me i just don t care cause i want to be there i just want to be there and sit at my jesus feet i wanna be there i just don t care about the crown or the color of the gown as long as jesus is in town i wanna be there i know there are things in this life that we can t understand there are moments we tend to forget where we belong sure there s time yes there s wealth in that beautiful place but all i want is to see him face to face i just want to be there i just want to be there and sit at my jesus feet i wanna be there i just don t care about the crown or the color of the gown as long as jesus is in town i wanna be there
