John said the city was just foursquare
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
And he declared that he'd meet me there
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready, I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

When Peter was preaching at the Pentecost
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
He was endowed with the Holy Ghost
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready, I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
Still my soul is heavenly bound
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready, I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John

Oh John, Oh John, what do you say?
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I'll be there at the coming day!
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready, I want to be ready
I want to be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John
