Songs about Jerusalem

I've been asked to present a program of songs about Jerusalem -- 15 or 20
minutes' worth. Besides the standards like "Sisu et Yerushalayim";
"Yerushalayim" (M'al Pisgat...); "Lach Yerushalayim"; and "Yerushalayim Shel
Zahav", all of which I've sung many times, I'd like to find some that are
equally singable but perhaps less well known. I'd appreciate any suggestions,
as well as music/lyrics or resources.
I'm somewhat familiar with Kenny Karen's "Jerusalem Is Mine," and Safam's
"Home to Jerusalem." I believe there was a "Jerusalem" song from one of the
Chasidic Song Festivals, but I can't find the lyrics. Also, I'm looking for
the lyrics to "HaKotel." Does anyone know if there are there any Jerusalem
songs in Yiddish or Ladino?
Thanks for any and all assistance!
