Por Jerusalém

Every time I think
Of Christ's crucifixion
A cruel scene comes to my mind

A sinless man
A God who came down to save his people
Being taken out of the city
Walking towards Calvary

Who knows, Jesus looks back and says
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
If only you knew
That I came to reconcile you with the Father
But you turned your back on me

If only you knew
That I came down to heal you
But you didn't want to listen to me

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Who kills the prophets
And stones those sent to you

How many times I wanted to gather your children
Like a hen gathers her chicks
Under her wings
But you didn't want

How many times I wanted to gather you
But you didn't want to listen to my voice
Many times I tried to warn you
But you turned your back on me

So many times I cried for you
I gave my life on the cross
In my hands, I carry the marks of pain
I love you, my name is Jesus

For Jerusalem, I shed my blood
For Jerusalem, I suffered so much
For Jerusalem, I was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem

For Jerusalem, I shed my blood
For Jerusalem, I suffered so much
For Jerusalem, I was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem

How many times, I wanted to gather you
But you didn't want to listen to my voice
Many times I tried to warn you
But you turned your back on me

So many times I cried for you
I gave my life on the cross
In my hands, I carry the marks of pain
I love you, my name is Jesus

For Jerusalem, I shed my blood
For Jerusalem, I suffered so much
For Jerusalem, I was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem

For Jerusalem, I shed my blood
For Jerusalem, I suffered so much
For Jerusalem, I was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem

For Jerusalem
For Jerusalem

For Jerusalem, his blood shed
For Jerusalem, he suffered so much
For Jerusalem, he was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem

For Jerusalem, his blood shed
For Jerusalem, he suffered so much
For Jerusalem, he was taken to the cross
For Jerusalem
For Jerusalem
For Jerusalem

Jerusalem!
