This portion of the lyric of the song Holy City stuck in our minds each time we mention Jerusalem (Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim) (Arabic: القُدس al-Quds)
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
This is the city where our Lord triumphantly enters on Palm Sunday, the city where the Lord has His last supper, the city where our Lord was arrested by the temple guards, faced the trial in front of Sanhedrin and then from Pontius Pilatus, the city where our Lord was sentenced to death but not before He suffered the sadistic flagellation and crowned with thorns, carried His cross along Via Dolorosa and the city where our Lord was crucified and later resurrected on the third day, gave us the Holy Spirit and our great commission before He ascended up to heaven.
We pray for peace in this holy city and for the Christians brothers and sisters here to be able to live in their homes, own lands and freely worship and practice their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour
Abba Immanu'el
Undeserved Forgiven Sinner
