The Porter's Gate

O Jerusalem

The Porter's Gate


Tom: G

D         D       Em   Bm
They have told us of a city
          D         Em     C/E
Where our tears are washed away
D         Em       Bm
And every shadowed valley
G            A       D
Is washed in endless day


[Verse 2]

D         D       Em   Bm
They have told us of a table
          D         Em     C/E
Where the poor are honored guests
D             Em    Bm
Where all the weary wanderers
G          A         D
Come in to bless and rest


[Chorus]
        C       D          G       D
Will we see the day of the city of God?
    Em   Bm    A     D
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
       C     D          G       D
Can we run away, to the city of God?
  Em   Bm     A   D
Jerusalem, Jerusalem


[Verse 3]

D         D       Em   Bm
They have told us of a chorus
          D         Em     C/E
Where our voices join as one
D           Em     Bm
In songs of celebration
G            A        D
That all our wars are done


[Chorus]
        C       D          G       D
Will we see the day of the city of God?
    Em   Bm    A     D
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem
       C     D          G       D
Can we run away, to the city of God?
  Em   Bm     A   D
Jerusalem, Jerusalem

[Verse 4]
D         D       Em   Bm
They have told us of a city
          D         Em     C/E
Where all death will be undone
D           Em      Bm
And all our tearful mourning
G            A       D
Gives way to healing song
