Rejoice With Jerusalem (ICD Dance Choreograph & Lyrics)

(Video to be added for this dance)

Lyrics:


Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her,
All ye that love her, rejoice for joy with her,

For I have returned unto Zion
And will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,
For it shall be a city of truth,
And the mountain of the Lord a holy mountain.

For there shall yet the young and the old
Dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,
And the streets of the city will be full
Of sons and daughters they’ll be singing,

Behold I will save my people
From the east and from the west
And I will bring them out of bondage.
And they will dwell in Jerusalem!

Isaiah 66:10, Zecharaiah 8
