If words could describe

The longing in my heart

For the place prepared for me

When I think of Heaven’s glory

Awaiting the redeemed

All within me rises up

At the thought of what will be

How I long for the new Jerusalem

Just to see my Savior’s face

All my heart is in Jerusalem

My home my resting place

I’ve heard that the streets are paved with gold

And the light there never fades

I’ve heard of treasures to behold

That words could not explain

And the praise of the saints like an ocean

Holy is the Lamb that was slain

How I long for the new Jerusalem

Just to see my Savior’s face

All my heart is in Jerusalem

My home my resting place

No more crying no more pain

Every tear will be wiped away

All suffering on earth will cease

Forevermore at peace

Jerusalem Jerusalem

How I long for the new Jerusalem

Just to see my Savior’s face

All my heart is in Jerusalem

My home my resting place

My home my resting place

My resting place

My resting place
