Maybe Next Year - Andrew Peterson

I made my way to the western wall

As the sun went down, I could hear them call for You

And the words I heard in the ancient song

Were the same as the ones I’ve sung so long to You

And when I touched the wall, the veil, it never felt so thin

'Cause You are the Rock and the Cornerstone

You are the temple of flesh and bone

And You are the door and the way back home again

To that city that we long for, that we feel so far away

Where the dawn will drive away our tears

And we’ll meet in the New Jerusalem someday

Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

At the western wall, I bowed my head

I knew that every word I read was true

As the prophet spoke from another age

And the song rose up from the sacred page to You

And I never felt so near, I never felt so far away

But You tore the curtain and shook the ground

The saints woke up and they walked around

And resurrection came to town that day

Like in that city that we long for, that we feel so far away

Where the dawn will drive away our tears

And we’ll meet in the New Jerusalem someday

Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

This is the place where Abraham

Cut loose the boy and he killed the ram instead

And this is the place where Jesus said

You could tear down the temple and He’d raise it from the dead

You never felt so real, I never felt so close to You

So I’ll weep and dance at the western wall

And sing of the way You’re making all things new

'Cause the kingdom’s here, but I know the kingdom’s moving in

So maybe I’ll meet You here next year

In the New Jerusalem, in the New Jerusalem

In that city that we long for, that we feel so far away

Where the dawn will drive away our tears

And we’ll meet in the New Jerusalem someday

Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

Next year in the New Jerusalem, la-la-laa, la-la

Next year in the New Jerusalem

Next year, next year

Next year in the New Jerusalem

Next year, next year

Next year in the New Jerusalem

Next year, next year
