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
