The song "Jerusalén" by Angel Ministerio is a deeply spiritual and religious piece that reflects on the Christian vision of the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, as described in the Book of Revelation. The lyrics are a vivid portrayal of the Apostle John's vision of the city, filled with divine light, where God's throne is surrounded by a sea of crystal and a multitude of saints in worship. The song expresses a longing to be part of this celestial city, to walk its streets of gold, and to be among the thousands of angels.

The imagery used in the song is rich with biblical symbolism. References to walking on streets of gold and being among angels evoke the splendor and holiness of the afterlife as promised in Christian theology. The mention of a child walking with a lion and a wolf playing with a lamb symbolizes the peace and harmony that will reign in the New Jerusalem, where there will be no more suffering or darkness, as the Lamb (a representation of Jesus Christ) is the light of the city. The chorus, with its desire to rest by the river's edge in the city of God, speaks to the ultimate rest and peace that believers seek in the presence of the divine.

The song also includes a call to worship, with the phrase "Hosanna in the highest" echoing the praise and adoration that is due to God. This worshipful tone is a key element of the song, emphasizing the joy and reverence that the vision of the New Jerusalem inspires in the faithful. The repeated invocation of Jerusalem underscores the significance of the city as a symbol of divine presence and eternal life in Christian belief.
