Up to Jerusalem

[Intro]
Standing at the edge of truth, shadows in the light
Whispers of the coming storm, fears that fill the night

[Verse 1]
He walks through ancient streets, destined to unfold
Promises of grace and pain, stories yet untold
Hands will turn to stone, hearts will break and bend
Ancient as the hills, where stories never end

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes that see through storms, voices calling out
Fading echoes of the past, doubts and hope throughout

[Chorus]
We’re going up to Jerusalem, caught in the tide of destiny
Walking the road of sorrow, seeking the mystery
Held by shadows, driven by faith’s dim light
We march on through the darkness, into the night

[Verse 2]
Mocked and spit upon, yet silent in the rain
Chains of suffering bind, yet love remains
Flogging under the weight, death’s cold whisper near
But hope dances softly, whispering clear

[Pre-Chorus]
He bears the weight of worlds, grace in every step
Turning pain to victory, tears that have been wept

[Chorus]
We’re going up to Jerusalem, caught in the tide of destiny
Walking the road of sorrow, seeking the mystery
Held by shadows, driven by faith’s dim light
We march on through the darkness, into the night

[Bridge]
In the shadow of the cross, a promise shines so bright
From the depths of despair, emerges the eternal light

[Outro]
So we journey on, with hope and love in sight
Up to Jerusalem, toward the dawn’s first light
