The Charlie Daniels Band - Jerusalem Trilogy: My Chosen One lyrics

Many, many years ago God came to Abraham He said I've chosen you to carry out my plan Gather up your household and prepare to leave this land You will not live here anymore I will lead you to a new land by and by Your heards will increase and your seed will multiply They shall be as plentiful as stars up in the skies And sands upon the shores Honor my name and do the things I tell you to And I will make a mighty nation of you The throne of David will shine forever brighter than the sun For my chosen one But Israel forsook the righteous path their fathers tried They bowed down to idols and they worshiped other gods But Jehovah in his mercy withheld his vengeful rod And let a remnant remain And then the Romans came and took Jerusalem And God could hear his people crying out to him They in their bondage were remorseful in their pain They were repentant in their sins So sunset followed sunrise and the centuries unfold Then came the season that the prophets had foretold Israel, you've waited for so long, now the time has finally come For my chosen one
