I Still Glimpse A City Lyrics - Singles - Spring Of Hope

I trudge like a pilgrim o'er mountains and plains 

Cities and country; through deserts and rain 

I'm seen as a stranger to great and lost men 

To the strong and the small — those known and forgotten 

[Chorus] 

I still glimpse a city, that city of light 

Zion, O Zion, let your light shine 

I may look like a beggar, stooping under pain 

With shoes worn to nothing and garments torn and stained 

But this road I have chosen when I knelt at the cross 

And deemed its reward worth more than all its cost 

[Chorus] 

The footsteps I follow are deep and stained with blood 

The pathway of the thousands who have lived their lives for love 

They chose to freely give what death would cruelly take 

But their dying grip on faith, no pain could ever shake 

[Chorus] 

I still glimpse a city, that city of hope 

Its light piercing night on a hill all alone 

There the morning shall dawn at the peak of the climb 

All pain will be gone, and every tear be dried 

For my soul will be found when the trumpet resounds 

And all sorrow shall flee when my Redeemer I see
