1997 Cast of King David - This New Jerusalem
I shall praise you, Lord
For bringing me up to this place
As I move toward
The city and hope of my race
As I dare recall
The deeds of our ancestors
Their supplication and prayer
Never once
Losing their faith in their God through the years of despair
I am the blood of Abraham
The seed of an immortal line
Whose life was given to his God
Whose promise to his God is mine
And to this new Jerusalem
Our fathers come at last
The sons of Jacob live again
The glories of our sacred past
Jerusalem, Jеrusalem
Though palaces may rise
Within your walls, your dust, your stonеs
Are prize enough for these contented eyes
I shall build the Lord
A temple in this holy town
As we move toward
One nation and one single crown
Lest we should pretend
Our earthly achievements are somehow the work of mere man
This I know
God is the reason
At best, we are part of His plan
Absalom, my son
I am now the king of all Israel
A long journey completed
But yours has barely begun
★ MALE ISRAELITE ★
I never believed I would see Israel united under one king
★ MALE AND FEMALE ISRAELITE ★
I never believed I would see Jerusalem as our capital
★ ABSALOM ★
I am the blood of Abraham
The seed of an immortal line
Whose life was given to his God
Whose promise to his God is mine
★ DAVID, ABSALOM, Chorus ★
And to this new Jerusalem
Our fathers come at last
The sons of Jacob live again
The glories of our sacred past
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Though palaces may rise
Within your walls, your dust, your stones
Are prize enough for these contented eyes
