powerful

this song came to me as a fleeting thought... and is now stuck heh.

Rejoice O Israel (Shalom Jerusalem)

I behold a city on a hill,
A nation torn by war,
But in that place Jehovah says,
His grace has been poured forth.

I behold a people who
Are waiting for the Lord
For He will come with trumpet sounds,
As nations watch in awe.

Shalom Jerusalem,
Messiah will come.
He’ll wipe away your tears and pain,
Rejoice, daughter of Zion.

Shalom Jerusalem,
Peace be within your walls,
Yeshua will return to reign
In majesty and power.

When we see the Son of God,
Descending from the clouds,
He’ll be arrayed in light,
Shining glorious and bright,
On New Jerusalem

Shalom Jerusalem,
Messiah will come.
He’ll wipe away your tears and pain,
Rejoice, daughter of Zion.

Shalom Jerusalem,
Peace be within your walls,
Yeshua will return to reign
In majesty and power.

He’ll wipe away your tears and pain,
Rejoice, O Israel.


music with the Jewish tunes/ words seem to really stick... i learnt a couple of hebrew worship songs when i was 7 at festival of praise... and i've never forgotten them. heh. the melodies are so beautiful --

i think this song is written by karen from church... not quite Jewish eh... but if you were at the service where this was sung - you'll know what i mean
