New Jerusalem

[CelticMist]

New Jerusalem

He walked the road to Jerusalem
He walked and talked among men
He healed the lame and blind man
And called them by their names

He walked along the mountainside
He seen the suffering die
He heard the voice of God that day
And went to kneel and pray

He walked upon the waters
He fed the multitude
He turned the water into wine
And set the captives free

He's calling out to you and me
To come and follow him
To live with Him forevermore
In New Jerusalem

He felt the lashes on His back
He felt the nails in His hands
The roman soldier pierced His side
But He'd already died

They laid Him in a garden tomb
and blocked it with a stone
Three days had passed and He rose that day
To set His people free

He's calling out to you and me
To come and follow Him
To live with Him forevermore
In New Jerusalem

In New Jerusalem
In New Jerusalem

This poem is also a song now!

Thanks Celtic. What lovely Words.

An aside, I just found out through a history article in our local paper (the other day) the person who origianlly bought the parcel of land which is now the suburb I live in called it "New Jersusalem". His mother was a Jewess & that was the reason he gave this area that name, in honour of his mum's faith. It's nice to be living in a place that was given such a prophetic City's Name.

Wow, that is interesting about the history of the land mass that has turned into a suburb there.

The neat thing about this poem is it's all biblical... not in the order in the Bible, but it is all there. It was written the day before Resurrection Day (aka as Easter) in 2002. It became a song shortly thereafter.
