Jerusalem


“Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.”

Hineni-- here I am, in the center of it all

slowly approaching the holy, holy wall

The air is a current, pulling me close

Hineni-- here I am, in the center of it all

Magnificence wraps its loving arms around me

The air is a current, pulling me close

“Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.”

Magnificence wraps its loving arms around me

Am Yisrael Chai!

“Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.”

Magnificence wraps its loving arms around me

Am Yisrael Chai!

slowly approaching the holy, holy wall

Magnificence wraps its loving arms around me

“Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.”
