Refrain

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

John said the city was just foursquare,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
And he declared he�d meet me there,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

Refrain

O John, O John, what do you say?
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
That I�ll be there at the coming day,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.

Refrain

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

Refrain

If you get there before I do,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Tell all my friend I�m a-comin�, too,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
