O Jerusalem
by The Porter's Gate, Greg Thompson

Album: Lament Songs

Verse 1
They have told us of a city
Where our tears are washed away
And every shadowed valley
Is washed in endless day

Verse 2
They have told us of a table
Where the poor are honored guests
Where all the weary wanderers
Come in to bless and rest

Chorus
Will we see the day of the City of God?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Can we run away, to the City of God?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Verse 3
They have told us of a chorus
Where our voices join as one
In songs of celebration
That all our wars are done

Chorus
Will we see the day of the City of God?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Can we run away, to the City of God?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

Bridge (sung in a round)
Ahhh, Ohhhh ohhhh
Come, Lord Jesus, Come! (Come, Lord Jesus, Come)
Come, Lord Jesus, Come! (Come, Lord Jesus, Come)
Come, Lord Jesus, Come! (Come, Lord Jesus, Come)
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

Verse 4
They have told us of a city
Where all death will be undone
And all our tearful mourning
Gives way to healing song
