Jeruzalem Stad van Goud • Christian Verwoerd • Opwekking 2022

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 Source: https://muzikum.eu/nl/christian-verwo...
