Lyrics
Chorus
Some morning you'll find me touring that city where the Son of God is the light
You'll find me there on the streets so pretty made of gold so pure and so bright
With Jesus the one who gave me the victory who led me across the divide
Some morning you'll find me touring that city, where with Him I will ever abide
Verse 1
Many times I have wondered about the sights of that city and all my eyes shall behold
I will see all the wonders when I enter that city, there forever be safe in His fold
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
Here on earth we have troubles that to us seem so heavy, but in heaven no one will be sad
Mom and Dad will be singing, Heaven's praises will be ringing for the dearest friend I ever had
Repeat Chorus

Meaning & Inspiration
Touring That City looks toward heaven with confident anticipation. The city is pictured through biblical images of radiant light, streets of gold, lasting fellowship with Christ, and freedom from sorrow. Rather than dwelling only on present trouble, the song contrasts earthly burdens with the promised security and praise of God’s eternal dwelling.
Its strongest imagery closely reflects Revelation 21:21–23, where the holy city has a street of pure gold and needs no sun because God’s glory gives it light and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 21:4 also supports the lyric’s hope that sadness and pain will end. The repeated vision of abiding with Christ makes His presence more important than the city’s beauty. References to family singing and heaven’s praises add a communal note, portraying eternal life as worship, reunion, and safety in God’s care. The song’s plain language and recurring chorus give that hope the form of a personal gospel testimony.
