Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Refrain
I wanna be ready,
I wanna be ready.
I wanna be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
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
John said the city was just four-square,
Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
And he declared he’d meet me there.
Walk in Jerusalem just like John. Refrain
