[Intro] 
C F C
[Chorus]
 FJohn saw jasper walls; oh Cmy, oh my, what a vision, FJohn told of shining streets of gold
 Where Gall God's saints shall forever stroll, I've wondered Ctime and again; how could it have been
 To Fgaze upon that heavenly Gthrone, but I'll Cwonder no more when I Fstep on that shore
 To Gwalk upon the golden ground that FJohn Csaw
[Verse 1]
 John saw a land I Cknow I'll share; he saw a river flowing there
 John tell me Fmore, John tell me more, John tell it Call
 John saw the Cthrone so bright and fair; he saw the Fgate with beauty rare
 Some day GI want to walk the golden ground that FJohn Csaw
[Chorus]
 FJohn saw jasper walls; oh Cmy, oh my, what a vision, FJohn told of shining streets of gold
 Where Gall God's saints shall forever stroll, I've wondered Ctime and again; how could it have been
 To Fgaze upon that heavenly Gthrone, but I'll Cwonder no more when I Fstep on that shore
 To Gwalk upon the golden ground that FJohn Csaw
[Verse 2]
 John heard Ca voice from heaven say, "I'll wash the tears, all tears away"
 John tell me Fmore, John tell me more, John tell it Call
 He said, "No Cdeath shall enter there, no grief or Fpain for us to bear"
 Oh, how I Glong to walk the golden ground that FJohn CsawD

 The sun and moon no longer shine; the Lamb of GGod shall be the light
 Forever Ashining on the golden ground that GJohn Dsaw
