Topic: "City on the Hill"

This song is in honor of Inauguration Day.

It is a simple call&response sort of thing . . .

City on the HillJames McCormick, January 20, 2009


In honor of Inauguration Day


[C]Look to the hor-[C7]izon, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]See our future [C7]shining, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]We will go to-[C7]gether, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]We will be to-[C7]gether, [F] . . . city on the hill


[G]Journey through wilderness, [F]Journey through storms


[G]Keep each other safe, [F]Keep each other [G]warm . . . [G7] . . . .


[C]Beacon in the [C7]darkness, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]Step by step [C7]closer, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]Day by day [C7]nearer, [F] . . . city on the hill



[C]Journey of a [C7]life time, [F] . . . city on the hill


[G]Journey through wilderness, [F]Journey through storms


[G]Keep each other safe, [F]Keep each other [G]warm . . . [G7] . . . .


[C]City of to-[C7]getherness, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]City of [C7]brotherhood, [F] . . . city on the hill


[C]City of [C7]sharing, [F] . . . city on the hill


To-[G]gether we can journey to that [F]city . . .


. . . That city on the [C]hill.
