lyrics

The tallest tree in paradise
The Christian call the tree of life
And I hope that trump might blow me home to my new Jerusalem
Paul and Silas bound in jail
One did weep and the other did pray
And I hope that trump might blow me home to my new Jerusalem

Blow your trumpet Gabriel
Blow your trumpet louder
And I hope that trump might blow me home to my new Jerusalem

You bend your knees on holy ground
And ask the lord to turn you around
And I hope that trump might blow me home
To my new Jerusalem
I turn my eyes toward the sky
And ask the lord for wings to fly
And I hope that trump might blow me home
To my new Jerusalem

When Gabriel makes his trumpet sound
The saints shall rise and bust the ground
And I hope that trump might blow me home
To my new Jerusalem
Weep like a willow mourn like a dove
If you want to get to heaven got to go by love
And I hope that trump might blow me home
To my new Jerusalem
