"Jerusalem" lyrics

We celebrate the wars we won
The blood of history's ancient sons
We followed Judah Maccabee
We fought against inequity
We saved ourselves with help from one
Who loves his children, every one
Every one, every one
Every one, every one

So now Jerusalem,
You know that it's not right
After all you've been through,
You should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from

The lessons we should learn from all
The fighting in the days of old
When providence bestowed divine
The sanctuary purified
Let light encircle all you hold
And don't uproot the olive grove

So now Jerusalem,
You know that it's not right
After all you've been through,
You should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from

So now Jerusalem,
You know that it's not right
After all you've been through,
You should know better than
To become the wicked ones almighty god once saved you from
