UP TO JERUSALEM

Up to Jerusalem
David said
They said he couldn’t
He did

Up to Jerusalem
Assyria came
God slew
Sennacherib slunk home

Up to Jerusalem
Babylon came
Hezekiah lost his gold
Babylon had a hold

Up to Jerusalem
Judah sinned
They didn’t win
Exiled to Babylon

Up to Jerusalem
Cyrus stirred
God’s hand moved
Ezra came back

Up to Jerusalem
Nehemiah wept
Artaxerxes declared
Nehemiah repaired its wall

Up to Jerusalem
Herod built
The temple restored
Rome distraught

Up to Jerusalem
Jesus set his face
Died on the cross
Victory, we are no longer lost

Up to Jerusalem
Dayan took the Western Wall
Jews in Jerusalem
Prophecy alive

Up to Jerusalem
You and me
Today we see
Peace will reign
