Feathers over Jerusalem Lyrics
——————————————
It’s been a while since the Romans left.
This city in dust and ruin
They say it’s the place where Jesus wept
And if you’re quiet
You can still hear him weeping

Woe Jerusalem.
How I’ve longed to gather you
As mother hen - she longs to do
Under my
protecting wings
Cover you with feathers
Protect you with feathers
Under my protecting wings

But you want embassies and steel fists to shield
Like all the other kings - like all the other nations do

No
No

Yes - Here are the roots
Yes - Here are the foundations
The remnants of your history making - Laid low

Like a naked fabled king
Cat walking his invisible stuff
For the whole world to see
It’s enough
It’s enough

Woe Jerusalem.
How I’ve longed to gather you
As mother hen - she longs to do
Under my protecting wings
Cover you with feathers
Protect you with feathers
Shelter you
Under My protecting wings

You were never meant to live in ruins
You need a new place to call home
One where the heartbeat of Creator
Beats alone
Beats alone

Listen to the heart.
Listen to him heart beating
Listen to the heart
I can still hear him singing

Woe Jerusalem.
How I’ve longed to gather you
As mother hen - she longs to do
Under My protecting wings
Cover you with feathers
Protect you with feathers
Under my protecting wings

Bless - don’t curse
Bless - don’t curse
And you will Blessed on the earth

So Lift up your hands
Lift up your voice
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Oh Lord we pray for the prince of peace
Come set down your feet in the Middle East
Oh Lord we pray for the prince of peace
Yeshua Come and set down your feet in the Middle East
