Jerusalem

You were but a small child
He reached out a hand to you
You were but a small and chosen child
He gave a special care to you
He gave you the law of right and wrong
He gave you the strength so you'd grow strong
You were but a small and chosen child
He still loves you

He said He would come to you
And talk with you a man to man
He said He would come and talk to you
And tell you of a deeper plan
But when the time was all arranged
He walked up to you, but you turned away
Still even now up until this day
He still loves you

And you walk on
You got to walk on
And you walk on
And you got to walk on
And you walk on
Across the Dead Sea sands
Walk on, Jerusalem

You're holdin' the sundial
And all the world tells the time through you
Turnin' away all the while
He marks the end of the age through you
And as you sing a warrior's song
We see the shadow is fallin' long
But, still, patiently He calls
He still loves you

But we all know that someday
The shadow, it will surely fall on you
And with nowhere left to go
You'll hear the familiar Voice ring true
And He will come once again
Your Father will come now as only Messiah can
And He will heal your broken land
And He will love you

And you walk on
You got to walk on
And you walk on
And you got to walk on
And you walk on
Across the Dead Sea sands
Walk on, Jerusalem

You got to walk on
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
No, no, no

You got to walk on
You got to walk on, now, now
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
You got to walk on
