John Michael Talbot – Jerusalem lyrics

You were but a small child
He reached out His hand to you
You were but a small, and chosen child
He gave a special care to you
He gave you the law of right and wrong
He gave you the strength so you'd grow strong
You were but a small and chosen child
He did love you
He said He would come to you someday
And walk with you a man to man
He said He would come and talk with you
To tell you of His deeper plans
But when the time was all arranged
He walked up to you, but you turned away
Still even up until this day, He still loves you
So walk on, you got to walk on

So walk on, across the Dead Sea sands
Walk on Jerusalem

You're holdin' the sundial
All the world tells the time through you
Still turnin' away all the while
He marks the end of the age through you
As your blood sings a warrior's song
We see the shadow is fallin' long
While patiently He calls
He still loves you

But we all know that someday
The shadow of death will fall on you
And with nowhere left to go
You'll hear the familiar Voice ring true
Then He will come to you once again
Father will come now as only Messiah can
And He will heal your broken land,
And He will love you
