Oh, John, Oh John, now what did you say
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I'll meet you there at the break of day
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

[Chorus]
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready, Lord
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

Oh, some come a walkin' and some come lame
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
Some come walking in Jesus' name
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
(Chorus)

Jesus lifted a cross upon his shoulder
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I'll meet you there at the first cross-over
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
(Chorus)
