In this song we are going “up” to Jerusalem. The “City of Peace.” This ancient holy city is mentioned hundreds of times in the Old and the New Testaments, and is the site of Christianity’s most important events.

Lyrics
Throw down your troubles
And put away the phone
Turn off the TV
We are going to leave it alone
Get your affairs in order
So nothing will bother your mind
We’re taking a journey
Gonna leave this mess behind
We’re going up the mountain
We’re taking one step at a time
To the City of David
We’re gonna leave all our cares behind
We’ll walk upon her golden stone
In the City of the Dove
We’re going to Moriah
We’re going up the mountain
Where Jesus poured out His Love
Up to our destination
Our pearl Jerusalem
May peace be within her walls
And may she be blessed till the end
Brothers and sisters
We’ll pray where Jesus talked
Friends pick up your crosses
And we’ll walk where Jesus walked
We’re going up the mountain
We’re taking one step at a time
To the City of David
We’re gonna leave all our cares behind
We’ll walk upon her golden stone
In the City of the Dove
We’re going to Moriah
We’re going up the mountain
Where Jesus poured out His Love
