1. Jerusalem Jerusalem I've cried for you so long
why can't I take you in my arms my love where you be long.
2. I sent you prophets but.you shot them down. my servants you've impaled,
And to the truth you close your ears; my babes you lock in your jails.
3. When you were young I sheltered you and sang 'come taste and see',
but you have heard another's tune, and wander'd far from me.
4. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! yet come and be my bride
though heaven and earth will pass a way, my love for you abides.
5. Jerusalem! Jerusalem , My anger I'll withhold ; but you won't see me until you can say.
"Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord"
6. Jerusalem Jerusalem I've cried for you so long ,
Why can't I take you in my arms . my love where you be long..
my love where you be long.. my love where you be long..
Jeresalem
