JERUSALEM
Lyrics
Verse 1
See him in JerusalemWalking where the crowds areOnce these streets had sung to himNow they cry for murder
Such a frail and lonely manHolding up the heavy crossSee him walking in JerusalemOn the road to save us
Verse 2
See him there upon the hillHear the scorn and laughterSilent as a lamb he waitsPraying to the father
See the king who made the sunAnd the moon and shining starsLet the soldiers hold and nail him downSo that he could save them
Verse 3
See him there upon the crossNow no longer breathingDust that formed the watching crowdsTakes the blood of Jesus
Feel the earth is shaking nowSee the veil is split in twoAnd he stood before the wrath of GodShielding sinners with his blood
Verse 4
See the empty tomb todayDeath could not contain himOnce the servant of the worldNow in victory reigning
Lift your voices to the oneWho is seated on the throneSee him in the new JerusalemPraise the one who saved us
