[Oe List ...] Song

[James Wiegel]

NEW JERUSALEM
Tune:  House of 
the Rising Sun
 
Three hundred people spoke in tongues
With flames above their heads
The Holy Ghost descended there
The Emerging Church they led.
 
Refrain:
There is a camp in New Orleans
Called New Jerusalem
A place of emerging spirit
men.
O Lord, I know I'm one.
 
Bread and wine they feasted on
They lived in corporateness
            Rehearsed the story of their lives
And danced their brokenness.
Refrain
                        
Paul did journey far abroad
Through trials and misery
And though he shipwrecked on the shore
            He praised the Mystery.
Refrain
 
Across the globe they spread the Word 
Of death and victory.
Worked wonder through the glorious name
Of the Man from Galilee.
Refrain
 
The blinding vision fills the eyes
Of global men dispersed
The open future now proclaimed:
New Heaven and New Earth.
Refrain

I have had a a request to find the lyrics to a Phase I song.  “There was a Camp in New Orleans” (something like that).  Does anyone know it.  Please send it to me via this email.  Thanks

Frank

God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal
deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by 
the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which 
is beyond all reason. 
       ~Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings, p. 56
