(Revelation 21:1-22:5; John 14:1-6; Hebrews 11:16, 13:14; Ephesians 1:22; 1 Corinthians 15:27)
Take me now to the very last city
Where they have safe streets and they're gold and pretty
(Take me home!) Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me now to the very last city
Where the massive gates have a pearly finish
(Take me home!) Oh, won't you please take me home
Brand-new Earth and Heaven under His feet
C'mon! Our King says come to Me
I'm preparin' a place for all the ones who believe
I'll see you on the other side
It's waitin' at the end of the line
The righteous risen Lord showed the way
You gotta - keep pushin' toward that fortress of faith
You know it's - it's all in Revelation - just you wait
You read in all the chapters you'll find
21 and 22 are sublime
Take me now to the very last city
Where they have safe streets and they're gold and pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah, yeah
Take me now to the very last city
Where the massive gates have a pearly finish
Take - me - home!
After we're there in the city, past danger
He'll wipe our tears, so just try to remember
A certain Gentleman from Nazareth decreed
We have another city naked eyes can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
Take me now to the very last city
Where they have safe streets and they're gold and pretty
Take -- me - home, yeah, yeah
Take me now to the very last city
Where the massive gates have a pearly finish
Oh, won't you please take me home - oh yeah!
No more delay -- no more decay
No more dismay -- still more to say
Have to remember this important part
Now we can only enter with an open heart
He said, don't wait around for any action to start
You just believe and you'll find
What are you, blind?
He said it all a million times!
Take me now to the very last city
Where they have safe streets and they're gold and pretty
Take -- me - home, yeah, yeah
Take me now to the very last city
Where the massive gates have a pearly finish
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me now to the very last city
Where they have safe streets and they're gold and pretty
Take -- me - home, yeah, yeah
Take me now to the very last city
Where the massive gates have a pearly finish
Oh, won't you please take me home
Home!

Take - me -- home!

Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The
great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
