The First Look
by The Inspirations

Album: Southern Gospel Treasury Series

Verse 1
I was standing on the bank of a river last night
And I gazed on a city so bright
Pearly gates were swinging open in the light I could see
Jesus standing with His arms open wide

Chorus
Golden trumpets (all of the trumpets in heaven ) were sounding
Heaven's choir (on the banks of the river) were gathering
All the angels (in heaven with gold harps ) were playing in perfect harmony
Little babies were smiling, crippled children were walking
Blinded eyes were being opened for the first look at Christ the King

Verse 2
There were many who were waiting near the portals that day
For the first glimpse of loved ones so dear
All their cares had been forgotten and their troubles were o'er
As they stood on that beautiful shore

Repeat Chorus
