"THIS CITY IS OURS"
(With the same upbeat rhythm and style as the original)
Verse 1:
Get up, wake up now! The day is about to begin
We have a message of love we want to share
God gave us this city to live and grow in
And today we will show the world what we can do
Down every street, in every corner, we will bring His light
With joy and faith, we will change reality
It doesn’t matter the size, it doesn’t matter where you and I are
Together we can make this place a better home
Chorus:
This city is ours, full of love and faith!
This city is ours, let’s celebrate!
This city is ours, with God as our leader!
This city is ours, the future is here!
This city is ours, we unite heart and hand!
This city is ours, let’s do what is good!
This city is ours, His love unites us now!
This city is ours, together we will win!
Verse 2:
I’ve seen how people need a little hope
And we can give them what they need to find
With songs of faith and attitudes of love
We transform every space into a place of blessing
Young people, families, all together with one goal
That God owns everything and His love is for everyone alike
Every day is an opportunity to do good
And with His power, nothing is impossible to achieve
Chorus:
This city is ours, full of love and faith!
This city is ours, let’s celebrate!
This city is ours, with God as our leader!
This city is ours, the future is here!
This city is ours, we unite heart and hand!
This city is ours, let’s do what is good!
This city is ours, His love unites us now!
This city is ours, together we will win!
Bridge (with that distinctive touch of the original song):
Hands up high, let the party start now!
With God in our city, everything is better this way!
Shout it out loud, let the whole world hear!
This city is ours, and His love is for all of us!
(Step forward, let’s go for it!
With God in the city, nothing compares!)
Final Chorus (more energetic):
This city is ours, full of love and faith!
This city is ours, let’s celebrate!
