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.

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

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
