This one’s for N.T. Wright.

Into a world of injustice the Judge will walk
to give the poor and weak their voice.
and those who have exploited the broken ones
will be broken under his feet.

We’ve been looking, we’ve been working,
we’ve been watching, we’ve been waiting
for your love to make the whole world new.

Like a bride to her husband the church will walk
to meet him in the open air,
and these old corrupted bodies will be transformed
like the body of the risen Son.

We’ve been looking, we’ve been working,
we’ve been watching, we’ve been waiting
for your love to make the whole world new.

Jerusalem bring peace to earth.
Oh, Son of Man return.
Jerusalem bring peace to earth.
Oh, Son of Man return.

We’ve been looking so long, we’ve been working so hard
for your love to make the whole world new.
