Good News From Jerusalem
Tribute Quartet
Jesus was a man who was not like any other He preached about judgment And a kingdom soon to come Oh, the people had never heard words like these He stirred up the scribes and the Pharisees So, they began to plot against God's one and only Son They led Him before the courts and the house of Pilate In a trial they mocked and condemned this righteous man Pilate listened to the crowd, and he knew they lied But when he heard the people cry, "Crucify" He tried but he couldn't wash the blood from his guilty hands Jesus died on a lonely hill they called Mount Calvary They laid Him in a tomb and a stone sealed Him inside Oh, but three days later when the women came Shocked and excited when they reached His grave They ran back to town and everybody heard them cry Good news from Jerusalem The cross on the hill where the debt was paid An empty tomb where His body laid A small upper room where they saw He was glorified Good news from Jerusalem He's alive, He's alive, He's alive Good news from Jerusalem He's alive, He's alive, He's alive Two thousand years have passed since He ascended Oh, the wars rage on in a world so lost in sin Troubles and trials on every hand The peace is coming to the promised land When the King comes back We'll shout it again and again Good news from Jerusalem A sign in the sky every eye can see A crown that will last for eternity A throne for a King Who had long been prophesied Good news from Jerusalem He's alive, He's alive, He's alive Good news, good news, He's alive A sign in the sky every eye can see A crown that will last for eternity A throne for a King Who had long been prophesied Good news from Jerusalem Good news from Jerusalem Good news from Jerusalem He's alive, He's alive, He's alive Good news, good news, He's alive Good news, good news, He's alive He's alive!
