Resounding in my spirit: Longing for the New Jerusalem by Matt Gilman. Heard this while watching the OneThing 2011 conference (so glad they have archives for those who can’t make it!) at IHOP-KC. Posted lyrics & chords, but of course, you can do without the modulation; and in “Better is One Day,” the “A Chord” is optional :)

VERSE 1:
G C G
I’m looking for a city not made by human hands
. C G
I’m longing for the garden where God once walked with man
. C Em
For eternity is written on my heart
. C D G
Lord, I’m longing for the day when we will never be apart
PRE-CHORUS:
. Em C
Every tear will be wiped away
. Am D
There’ll be no sorrow hurt or pain, there’ll be no more night
. B Em C
All things will be made new - It will be a brand new day
. Am D
And In righteousness You’ll reign and the Lamb will be the light
CHORUS:
G G/B C
Behold the Tabernacle of God will be with man
G/B Am G/B C D G
And He will be our God and we will be His people
G/B C
And the Bride she will marry the Lamb

But until that day
. C D G
I’m longing for the New Jerusalem.
VERSE 2:
. C G
I looked and saw a city, descending down from heaven

He’s longing for the day where we’ll never be apart
