"NEW JERUSALEM"

[Revelation 21:1]
And I saw a new heaven,
-And I saw a new earth;
-And I saw a new heaven
And a new earth:
For the first heaven and the first earth
Were passed away.

[4 times]

Chorus One: [Revelation 21:2]
And I John saw the Holy, saw the Holy City,
New Jerusalem!
Coming down, coming down from God out of heaven,
New Jerusalem!
Prepared as a bride adorned for her husband,
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem!

[Revelation 21:3]
From out of heaven
I heard a great voice
Saying, "The temple of God,
The temple of God is with men,-
And He will dwell with them,
And they shall be His people,
And God Himself shall be with them and be their God!"

Chorus Two:
And I John saw the Holy,
Saw the Holy City,
New Jerusalem!
Coming down, coming down from
God out of heaven,
New Jerusalem!
Prepared [prepared] as a bride
Adorned for her husband,
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem!

[Revelation 21:4; 22:5]
And God shall wipe away all
Tears from their eyes;
And there shall be no more death,
Neither sorrow, nor crying:
-The former things are passed away
[No more tears and pain].
Forever and forever
They shall reign, in New Jerusalem!


New Jerusalem!

[Revelation 22:5] [See also Revelation 21:23.]
There shall be no night there;
They don't need a lamp, nor light of the sun;
For the Lord shall
Be their light.

[Revelation 21:5,6]
Behold, I make all things new.
And I will freely give to him
That is athirst of the fountain of the
Water of life.

Chorus Three: [See also Revelation 21:18.]
And I John, -I saw the Holy City,
New Jerusalem! [That golden city!]
Coming down -from God out of heaven,
New Jerusalem! [I know it's coming!]
Prepared [prepared] as a bride
Adorned for her husband,
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem!
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem!
New Jerusalem!
