The New Jerusalem

Text by F.A.

Refrain:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
the New Jerusalem

I have His words engraved in my heart,
Not by chance He descended as a baby
near an olive tree
where today He awaits us with joy and pain,
a meeting of love with You, my Lord,
and with Mary, Your Mother and mine.

Refrain

Again I think of Your tears of love
near an olive tree,
sweat of blood You shed for us.
The pain was so harsh, I can feel it in my heart,
but the love was greater that made You
die on the cross for us.

Refrain
