JERUSALEM WE HAVE COME HOME: CONGREGATION TEMPLE EMANU-EL CHOIR

From the time of the Pharaohs and the Hamans we did fight.
From the Spanish Inquisition to the crystal night
The Holocaust we remember though it seems so far
The Nazi persecutions and the little yellow star

Jerusalem we need you, your children have returned
For centuries we waited, our hearts for you do yearn
We walk the holy city, you can hear our joyful cry
Jerusalem I love you, Am Yisrael Chai!

Jerusalem we have come home, we exist
We have survived, we continue to live yes! We're alive

Here we stay no more to roam
From all corners of the earth this is our home
We've spilled blood, we've known war
Jerusalem you're ours forever more

Jerusalem we have come home, we exist
We have survived, we continue to live yes! We're alive
We continue to live. AM YISRAEL CHAI!
