OLD JERUSALEM

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Upon these ancient steps your future passed
Rejecting your mission and savior messiah
Scattered afar as the world's outcast

The love of your Redeemer
Gathers you home once more
The fullness of time has come
He stands knocking at your door

Believe him this time
And receive him with humble mind
Bring salvation to the land
Promises of old and healing you'll find

Entering Eastern gate on temple mount
Receiving your Holy King
Sweet waters flow out both east and west
From fractured eternal spring

A thousand years of righteousness
Shall issue forth from you
Teaching God's word to the nations
And all that is good and true

One final battle at the end of time
And your victory shall be won
New Heavens, New Earth, New Jerusalem
Prepared for you by God's own Son

Old Jerusalem was composed from a variety of photos from various people and sourses. I love this scene that many of you have walked.
The 3 arches make the depth and 3-d effect come alive. Just imagine the ancients that must have walked up those steps or those who have stopped and passed the time of day and shared experiences. I wanted you to feel that you were almost compelled to enter and walk up the steps yourself, and who knows what is beyond the last archway?
