I’ve never been to Jerusalem.
I’ve never walked where Jesus walked.
I’ve never stood beside the Sea of Galilee
Where the people gathered ‘round as Jesus taught.
Never seen the Garden of Gethsemane
Where my Savior prayed and where He cried
But I’ve looked upon the tree at Calvary
And I’ve knelt before the Cross where Jesus died.
And I’m going to my home in Jerusalem
So much brighter than Jerusalem of old
Where the streets are not of stone or earthen clay
But they’re lined with Jewels and paved in solid gold
CHORUS:
New Jerusalem, Holy City of the King
Where we’ll walk beside the Lord
And we’ll live eternally.
New Jerusalem, no more sorrow, no more pain.
All our tears are wiped away
And forever, we will reign.
Well you may never see that old Jerusalem
Or it’s busy streets all lined with merchants wares.
But you can one day see that city filled with light
Where the waters flow with life so crystal clear.
Filled with the glory, of the Father up above.
Guarded by his Angels, and surrounded by His Love
Surrounded by God’s love….
CHORUS:
New Jerusalem, Holy city of the King.
Where we’ll walk beside the Lord
And we’ll live eternally.
New Jerusalem, no more sorrow, no more pain.
All our tears are wiped away
And forever… forever we will reign
In New Jerusalem, Oh New Jerusalem
Forever we will reign.
