I Cannot Forget Jerusalem

Our walls are broken down

Our gates are burnt with fire

And the harp that we once played Now hang upon the willow

And can we sing the songs of Zion in a strange land }2x

I cannot forget Jerusalem

I remember the city of God

I remember Zion

In Isaiah sixty two

For Zion sake I will not hold my peace

Andfor the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest

Until the righteousness go forth as brightness

And the salvation thereof

As a lamp that burneth

I cannot forget Jerusalem

I remember the city of God

I remember Zion

When God delivered Zion

From the captivity of Babylon

Then was our mouth filled with laughter

And our tongue with singing

The Lord is doing great things for his people

That’s why we are glad

That’s why we rejoice

I cannot forget Jerusalem

I remember the city of God

I remember Zion
