I have been asked to do a “minus one” of a couple of very obscure songs by Frenzy Cool in the Philippines.
They both are concerned with Jerusalem and the first is called “Jerusalem: a New Song”.
It might be a GIA copyright but I can’t find anything on the internet about the author or where to get sheet music, so if anyone knows anything more I’m all ears.
These are the lyrics as provided:
JERUSALEM A NEW SONG
I have groped in the dark
with a cold empty heart
and I’ve searched every livelong day
I have followed the call that was
whispered to me
Though at times I have turned away
still I could feel a warm guiding hand
That leads me along the way
to serve in the house of the Lord, my God
and this is where I long to beFrom afar I could hear the music of the people
who have searched and found a song
A song that would chase the blues away
and the shadow that comes along
I hear a great rejoicing of the people who
have always known
That this is where the Lord abides
and this is where we all belong.Refrain:
JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM
this isn’t just a song
I’ve managed to come home again,
to the Lord I do belong
and if someday I should stray from you
and not remember to return
Call on me Jerusalem
Call on me Jerusalem
Call on me Jerusalem
… to come home.
They linked to this clip where the song is right at the end.
I have extracted the audio for just the song:
This arrangement is verse/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/chorus.
I have made a matching backing with approximate chords but I have not done the melody line so you’ll have to know the song to sing along.
I can’t really place the liturgical use for this song but, again, I’m open to suggestions.
Good day…
Even though I did not hear yet the music you’ve made
Im really happy of it…
Even me I could not found the music sheet of the song but its from GIA too.
I will wait for the another song of what I asked entitled Back to Jerusalem,
What I’ve said that I did not still played or listen the song cause
I could not open it on my phone..
I could open it if will go on the internet cafe…
So im very excited to listen it…
Thank you and
God bless you all…
