(JESUS)
Oh Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem,
Who spills the blood of prophets
And stones the ones I send her
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How I've longed to gather
Your children together
The way a hen gathers
Chicks beneath her wings
And though I have tried
My love's been denied
Because you're unwilling
To receive me as your King
REPEAT Chorus
I've tried to make you see
But you ignore me
Although I have warned you,
You've been both deaf and blind
Time's run out on you
You don't have a clue
Oh, that sooner or later
You’re gonna pay for your crimes
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
REPEAT Chorus
CODA
Behold your house is left desolate
And soon you will see me no more
Till you learn to say, and never forget
"Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord"
