Jerusalem, we pray for you,
our hearts and love go out to you.
Though nations rise against your land,
you’ll be upheld by God’s great hand..
The Bible's clear that you will win
when your Messiah comes again.
Be not dismayed, be not afraid,
your Christ, Messiah, soon will reign.
A false messiah first will rise
to blind all unbelieving eyes.
Be not deceived, he's not the one
to rescue you, Jerusalem.
For he'll restore your sacrifice
of animals--you'll think he's nice--
until you're asked to bow down low
before his image--then you'll know...
You'll know then he's not the One -
the real Messiah who will come
to be the King of all your land -
Messiah that your God has planned.
When all's in place, then by His grace
you'll see your King's own kindly face.
You'll know that He's Messiah true,
He'll show you His great love for you.
He's Jesus Christ, the Son of God
who'll tread once more upon your sod.
He'll rule the world from your dear land
Jerusalem--you strong will stand!
Jerusalem, we pray for you
and Jesus Christ, He's praying too
that you will know He's your Messiah
the risen Christ of heaven's glory!
