For You Jerusalem

Psalm 137:5-6

For you Jerusalem, we weep, as Jesus weeps and grieves

For You Jerusalem, we pray for peace on bended knees

Dm                            G          C                 F

Lest we sleep and slumber, lest we all forget

Bb                          F  E  A 

Pray for peace, Jerusalem

         Dm                               G                      C              F

Can’t you help but wonder why He paid the debt?

Jesus loves Jerusalem
