Walk in Jerusalem lyrics
by Mahalia Jackson
[Intro]
(Way up, way up)
(Way up, way up)
(High up)
(In Jerusalem when I die)
(Way up, way up)
(Way up, way up)
(High up)
(In Jerusalem when I die)
[Chorus]
God knows I'm gonna
Walk in Jerusalem
Talk in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem
Be in Jerusalem
High up, oh
In Jerusalem when I die
Oh, be in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem
Shout in Jerusalem
Pray in Jerusalem
High up, oh
In Jerusalem when I die
[Verse 1]
Mm, when I get down to the river
I'm gon' stick my sword in the sand
For I spy the ol' ship of Zion
She took a-many to the Promised Land
[Verse 2]
Way over in Beulah
Where there ain't no dyin' there
Where the saints shoutin' victory
Oh, they singin', Lord, ev'rywhere
[Verse 3]
Way over in Beulah
I hear the voice of friends I've known
They been gone on, gone on to glory
Well, well a long time ago
[Bridge]
They been waitin'
They been watchin'
They been waitin' at the beautiful gate
And one day I'm gonna meet them
Oh, I'm gonna sing forevermore
[Verse 4]
Way over in Beulah
I see the Captain beckon to me
Well, He's callin' all God's children
Oh, to meet Him on the Promised Land
[Chorus]
God knows I'm gonna
Walk in Jerusalem
Talk in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem
Be in Jerusalem
High up, oh
In Jerusalem when I die, oh yeah
Oh, be in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem
Shout in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem
High up, oh
In Jerusalem when I die
