Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot leave You are my home always
Infinity seems so strange
Your royalty holds my name always
God of forever my friend forever
Teach me Your ways
God of forever my Friend forever
Walk me through this place
I’m forever loyal to You
Fly me to Jerusalem
Send me like You sent Your Son
Tell me what You want me to do
I’m forever loyal to You
Fly me to Jerusalem
Send me like You sent Your Son
I was not a righteous man
You dusted me with righteous hands
From holy water I arrived
They baptized me I grew new eyes
I have evolved I found You
It’s not a dirty word it’s truth
Those evolutionists got one thing right
I have adapted to the Father’s Light
Tell me what You want me to do
I’m forever loyal to You
Fly me to Jerusalem
Send me like You sent Your Son
Tell me what You want me to do
I’m forever loyal to You
Fly me to Jerusalem
Send me like You sent Your Son
I want to see the Holy Land
With my new eyes and You by my side
I want to see new Israel with my new eyes
And You by my side
I want to see the Holy Land
With my new eyes and You by my side
I want to see new Israel with my new eyes
And You by my side
