Lyrics

This is the 23rd of April no May, (May) 23rd of May and John and I are Sitting on the veranda of a hotel that is in Tiberias, Israel It is right on the Sea of Galilee We can see to our left the place Where they held the Sermon On The Mount And across the lake is now the land of Israel But up until eleven months ago was held by Syria On down to the right further down the Jordan River joins the Sea if Galilee And it's a beautiful day with the birds You can hear the motor boats on the lake only one that I can see And then a big pleasure boat that is coming across the other side From the Sea of Galilee The lake at this point I'd say is about Eight miles wide and it's fourteen miles long Hmm that's right June Israel is really again in it's glory This is a beautiful place It's in much greater glory that she was in the days of King Herod I'm proud to say for the Jews today King Herod gained the throne like a fox Ruled like a lion and died like a dog
