Jeruzalem Stad van Goud • Christian Verwoerd • Opwekking 2022

Описание: I first heard this amazing song "Jerusalem of Gold" (ירושלים של זהב, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) in Jerusalem back in 2015 while attending the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) "Jerusalem March" with my then fiancé Heidy Boston-Rebel 😍 I find it so moving! It was an honour to blow my clarinet during the Israel 🇮🇱 set with Christian Verwoerd and his band at Opwekking 2022! "Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure" - Psalm 122:6 CSB 🙏🏻🙌🏻📖

Here is the English translation of Christian's lyrics:

The clear sky above the mountains
The smell of cedar wood
Is carried by the gentle wind
Around that city of gold

The stones are resting bare
They've been seeing for ages
How people desire this city
The pilgrim dreams of this

Jerusalem, oh city of gold
The city that God restores and builds
I will never, no, never forget you
You are mine

The water flows from the wells again
The squares are filled
You hear the shofar at the temple
This is where God's word is fulfilled

Come, take the road east from here now
Towards the Dead Sea
Along Jericho there in the distance
we descend there

Jerusalem, oh city of gold
The city that God restores and builds
I will never, no, never forget you
You are mine

Jerusalem of Gold
And of copper and of light
Not for all your songs
I am a violet

Oh, there are many who sing to you
I'm just one of them
I also want to show my love
To you with heart and voice

When I hear your name I will shine
Oh, most beautiful residential city ever
I can forget my right hand
But I will never forget you

Jerusalem oh city of gold
The city that God restores and builds
I will never, no, never forget you
You are mine

Jerusalem of Gold
And of copper and of light
Not for all your songs
I am a violet

If I forget you, oh Jerusalem
Then let my right hand forget itself
