Aline & Howie- Hebrew Roots Music: Music

O Jerusalem

Inspired from Psalm 122 and other scriptures, It took all day (12 hours) to birth and craft this anthem. We had been in Israel for 6 months and were preparing to go to the UK when the reality of our home in Israel hit us. Jerusalem, Galilee, En Gedi and all parts in between- a great land.
I was walking through my father’s house
with a song inside my heart
When the heavens opened overhead
And I heard the music start
When I heard the angel voices ring,
And the saints who sang along
I opened up my mouth to sing,
And behold, this was our song…

O’ Jerusalem, our feet are standing in your gates
O’ Jerusalem, our hands are raised in praise
To the God of Abraham… Isaac and Jacob

Blessed are those who bless you, cursed are those who wont
And worthy is the one who sits upon your throne
