Walk in Jerusalem Songtext
von The Blind Boys of Alabama

Yes! I want to be ready
I want to walk in Jerusalem just like John

Wasn′t I born to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John
Oh, wasn't I born to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

Well, John said the city was first class
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Well, I won′t be content 'til I get there
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Well, John said the city was first class a while
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
I want to meet King Jesus on the other side
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Dee-dee-dum-do-do, to be ready


I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John
Oh, wasn't I born to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

Well, my God told me just what to do
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
If you make one step, I′ll make two
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Well, I wonder you reckon he said to me
Walk in Jerusalem just like John

If you make two steps, I′ll make three
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
He spoke again, his voice interrupts
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
If you make three steps, I'll make four
Walk in Jerusalem just like John

Behold, behold, he′s still alive
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
If you make three steps, I'll make five
Walk in Jerusalem just like John
Thank God and I want to be ready


I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John
Don′t you know that I want to be ready for
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

Well, when I get to heaven, I'm gonna sing it to you
Walking through the land, just like John
It′s the three tall angels on my toe, let them be
Walking through the land, just like John
Well, when I get to heaven, I'm gonna sing it to you
Walking through the land, just like John
There will be nobody that'll put me out
Walking through the land, just like John

I′m gonna walk with the Father, Dad, or the son
Walking through the land, just like John
I′m gonna tell Him about this, been going like a rum
Walking through the land, just like John
I'm gonna walk all good God, I′m gonna walk
Walking through the land, just like John
I'm gonna walk the intrigued stretch of John
Walking through the land, just like John

I′m gonna walk, walk, walk, walk
Walking through the land, just like John
I'm gonna walk with God′s contrite tongue
Walk in Jerusalem just like John

Thank God that I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John
Thank God that I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem, just like John
