    LYRICS:
    Here among the shadows in a lonely land,
    We're a band of pilgrims on the move
    Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand,
    Looking for a city built above.
    Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-bye,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
    In this land of dangers going here and there
    Trusting in the blessed Saviors love;
    Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care,
    Looking for a city built above.
    Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-bye,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew

    May 9th, 2024, SC, loving God, Jesus & The Holy Spirit: I will see all of my family in Heaven--hope that includes all of you who listen to this great music. Isn't Heaven going to be AMAZING with all these great singers worshipping together!?

    Now why on earth do Churches not have this kind of gospel?? I used to play the piano/organ at a church in Southeastern Michigan and this was one of the hymns i suggested for a sunday morning meet/greet and ya should have seen how happy and lively the congregation became as the song progressed. This like so many other wonderful gospel songs seem to have been buried in the back of churches along with singing and harmonizing with the piano/organ/bass/drums. We have sadly stepped away from the great time testes gospel songs and have gone to a digitized CD music style that still chews me up inside. I love and miss this kind of fellowship more and more each day.

    I co-wrote Lookin For A City with Jack Hayford. My daughter Meghen was in foster care with his son and daughter in law. The song 🎵 was written for the occasion of Megghen's 6th birthday. She had ARC and was quit sick. Praise God! Meghen got her healing that night in a special healing service. God is good!!

      Just about every songbook I have seen this in has credited the words of this song to W. Oliver Cooper and the melody to Marvin P. Dalton. The copyright of this song belongs to the Hartford Music Company in Powell, Missouri, 1954. I don't believe you are making an honest claim here saying you wrote this song.

    I love seeing these post bout how good both Tim and Bill were. Bill seems natural low like Tim. Bill may not quite have the same power on the lows as Tim but Bill still sounds good on his notes too. The way I see it is Tim wouldn’t have picked Bill to replace him if he didn’t see potential in Bill. I’m sure Tim helped season Bill for replacing him too and gave him the placement speech and work with him. Gotta love both of them honestly.

    Here among the shadows in a lonely land,
    We're a band of pilgrims on the move;
    Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand,
    Looking for a city built above.
    Looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-by,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
    Here in disappointment we so sadly roam,
    Friends no longer speak one word of love;
    O we have found contentment, Jesus promised us a home,
    And I'm looking for a city built above.
    We're looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-by,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
    In this land of dangers going here and there
    Trusting in the blessed Saviors love;
    Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care,
    Looking for a city built above.
    We're looking for a city, where we'll never die,
    There the sainted millions, never say good-by,
    There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too,
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
    Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew.
