Lyrics
Jerusalem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
John saw a city that could not be here
John saw this city. Oh yes he did!
John caught a glimpse of the golden throne
Tell me all about it. Go right on!
Around the throne he saw a crystal sea.
There's got to be more, what will it be?
I want to go to that city he saw
Named Jerusalem
Jerusalem I want to walk your streets that are golden
And I want to run where the angels have trod
Jerusalem I want to rest on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God
John saw the lion lay down by the lamb
I want to know everything about that lamb
John saw the day but he did not see night
The lamb of God well he must be the light
And he saw the saints worship the great I am
Cry worthy, worthy is the lamb
I want to go to that city he saw
Named Jerusalem
Jerusalem, jerusalem sing for the night is on
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forev... Forever more
The city of God
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
City of God, it's the city of God
