Lyrics

JAH RULE SALEM
(Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)
God haste the second coming of Christ
When finally we’ll end all the strife
Man subjected to God’s authority
A kin-ship of all humanity
But until that appointed time,
Peace is a mountain we’ll never climb
There will never ever be any peace
Until Jah Rule Salem
The wars will never, never, never ever cease
Until Jah rule Salem
Jerusalem, Jerusalem how I’ve cried for thee,
That you’d abide with me
Jerusalem, Jerusalem how I’ve cried for thee,
That you’d abide with me
The kings and leaders of this world
Strategies and plans they unfurl
But peace on earth they’ll never attain
Unless God builds the house they labour in vain
For Jesus Christ is the only way
That harmony can be relayed
There will never ever be any peace
Until Jah Rule Salem
The wars will never, never, never ever cease
Until Jah rule Salem
Jerusalem, Jerusalem how I’ve cried for thee,
That you’d abide with me
Jerusalem, Jerusalem how I’ve cried for thee
That you’d abide with me
Till the new Jerusalem comes down
Lasting peace will not abound
When you think there’s peace and safety
Sudden destruction is your reality
Until Jesus Christ, He returns
The embers of war will forever burn
