Lyrics

JERUSALEM

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem - city of old
If the walls could speak of all they’ve seen
What stories would be told
All the righteous men who’ve come and gone
Walked your streets
All the prophet’s words have filled the air
But still you refuse to believe

O Jerusalem

O Israel, Israel - why have you turned away?
With a father’s love I have cared for you
But still you refuse to obey
You bring sacrifice when it’s mercy I desire
Show me righteousness in all you do
Rekindle the fire

O Israel - O Israel

Daughter of Zion - City of Peace
Turn from your idols - turn back to me
Daughter of Zion - City of Peace
Turn back to me !

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem - how I weep for thee
As a mother hen would gather her young
Under her wing
But you’ve turned away - refused my love
You knew not the hour
Still I call for you will you hear my voice
Rekindle the fire

O Jerusalem

O Israel, Israel - a nation slow to see
All the prophecies that lead to me
O why won’t you believe
With a stubbor heart you’ve chose the law
Turned your back on me
With a father’s love I’ve cared for you
But still you refuse to obey

O Israel - O Israel

Daughter of Zion - City of Peace
Turn from your idols - turn back to me
Daughter of Zion - City of Peace
Turn back to me !
