Lyrics: 
Chorus:
He was weeping over Jerusalem
He was crying
Tears were running down His face
He was weeping over Jerusalem
Because they could not see God's grace

He journeyed there for the last time
Jerusalem you were still so blind
He was the message of truth
But you just would not believe
So you hung Him on a tree

He journeyed there for the last time
Jerusalem could not see the sign
He brought you healing and life
But you just turned Him away
And you screamed out crucify

He journeys to us ev'ry day
Jerusalem do we walk your way
He wants to give us new life
But do we turn Him away
And do we scream crucify

The actual music is not available on CCLI, but can be found at dakotaroadmusic.com/lyrics-melody-lines for a very minor fee that includes lyric lines for the entire catalog of Dakota Road songs. We use several DR songs for congregational singing and contemporary liturgy (now there's an oxymoron we've been riding for 20+ years!). There are some real gems here!
