Walk in Jerusalem Songtext
von Mahalia Jackson

Way up, way up
Way up, way up
High up in Jerusalem
When I die
Way up, way up
Way up, way up
High up in Jerusalem
When I die

God knows I′m gonna walk in Jerusalem
And I'ma walk in Jerusalem
And I′ma sing in Jerusalem
And I'ma be in Jerusalem
High up in Jerusalem when I die
Oh, be in Jerusalem
And I'ma sing in Jerusalem
And I′ma shout in Jerusalem
And I′ma pray in Jerusalem
And I'm high up in Jerusalem when I die


Hmm, when I get down to the river
I′m gonna stick my sword in the sand
For I spy the ol' ship of Zion
Who took a-many to the Promised Land
Way over in Beulah
Where there ain′t no dying there
Where the saints shoutin' victory
Oh, they singin′, Lord, everywhere
Way over in Beulah
I hear the voice of friends I've known
They been gone on, gone on to Glory
Well, well a long time ago
They been waitin'
They been watchin′
They been waitin′ at the beautiful gate
And one day I'm gonna meet them
Oh, I′m gonna sing forever more
Way over in Beulah
I see the Captain beckoned to me
Well, He's callin′ all God's children
Oh, to meet Him on the Promised Land

God knows I′m gonna
Walk in Jerusalem
And I'ma talk in Jerusalem
And I'ma sing in Jerusalem
And I′ma be in Jerusalem
And I′m high up, oh, in Jerusalem
When I die, oh yeah
Well, be in Jerusalem
And I'ma sing in Jerusalem
And I′ma shout in Jerusalem
And I'ma sing in Jerusalem
High up, oh, in Jerusalem
When I die
