LUKE – Two Jerusalems

Verse 1 — The Judgment of Old Jerusalem You built your stones on prophets’ blood You kept the courts but missed the truth You dressed the walls in holy names But shut the gates on what was due “O Jerusalem,” the voice had cried “You kill the ones that I have sent” Your house is left to you alone Desolate in judgment bent Chorus Not this mountain, not these stones Not the city men have known The hour comes and now is here Where truth is seen and God is near What you guarded falls away What was written still will stay There’s a Kingdom not confined To walls of earth or works of time Verse 2 — The System Removed (Temple + 70 AD) Not one stone left upon another Just as He had plainly said Fires came and tore it open Left no place for what was dead What you trusted, what you built What you claimed would always stand Was removed and overturned By a greater, sovereign hand Verse 3 — The Scattered Jerusalem There’s a people spread like seed Driven far through foreign lands Took on tongues and took on customs Lost the mark upon their hands Called no people, called unclean Cut off from the covenants But the promise never failed Though the trail was long and bent Chorus Not this mountain, not these stones Not the city overthrown What was scattered, now made known What was lost is called back home From the nations, from afar From the places where they are There’s a city being raised Not by hands, not built by clay Verse 4 — New Jerusalem (Luke 24 + Revelation) He said all must be fulfilled Law and prophets, every line Opened up their understanding “This was always My design” Beginning there in Jerusalem Not a place, but who remained To the scattered of the covenant Calling them by name again Twelve tribes written in the gates Living stones now set in place Bride prepared and coming down Not a land — a people raised Bridge — You say “Here” or you say “There” But the Kingdom’s not contained Not in temples made by hands Not in systems built by men What was earthly passed away What was promised still remains God now dwelling with His people Writing truth in heart and name Final Chorus Not this mountain, not these stones Not the throne men claim their own What was written now revealed What was sealed has now been shown There’s a city coming down Built of those the Lamb has found Not of walls, but flesh and bone God with man — His people known
