Birthday
cakes don’t make me feel old, full time jobs don’t tie me down. Sway
back mules aren’t made to be sold, and little girls never frown. All
roads are made to be traversed. Peace
is just resolved mayhem. Waves
of the sea can’t be reversed, so, I’m off to Jerusalem. Can’t
slide when the banister ends, can’t play hide and seek alone. If
all these truths are just more trends, what’s the use of tap’n a phone? When
the carpet dries, give a call, but don’t cry out “crucify Him”. Where
are you in the mirrored hall? I’m headed to Jerusalem. Crazy
words in a crazy world? No sense in any of them. Like
we’re caught in a mighty swirl, so let’s head to Jerusalem. Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, a city I can’t figure. The
flowing river we swim, that grows smaller not bigger. Into
my life it rose to me, this city of love and peace. From
my heart I give to thee, a story of eternal feast. For
Jesus came to thee for me, as olive trees grow new limbs. And
the summer is to the tree, like Christ is to Jerusalem. So
hear and know this, you city, that Christ is your Messiah. Accept
Him or know no pity, fulfilled is the prophet Isaiah. Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, God’s Word brought forth one last time. Hearts
must ask Jesus into them, or pay evermore, sins crime. For
me the story must be told, that Jesus died for all sin. Then
rose to a city of gold, that’s why I’m headed to Jerusalem. I’ve
got to see where God’s great word will have knees bow to His Son. On
every ear His name be heard, for Jesus is back in Jerusalem.
Selah
