Holy Lands

Wistful thought of holy land;
Historic grounds, historic stands.
Covenants and controversy,
Prosperity, adversity;
The lands created and walked by You,
Lord, what a wonder to be where You were…
Perhaps someday!

Wistful thought of holy land;
Present ground on which I stand,
Given with purpose
To teach, to refine,
Every step fitting
The plan for my life.
Daily walking as I walk with You,
Grounds You’ve created and tailored to me…
Covenants and controversy,
Prosperity, adversity.
Lord, what a wonder to be where You are;
Wherever I am, I know You’re not far
From me!

 

Wistful thought of heavenly land,
Future grounds on which I’ll stand;
Promised place of eternal life,
Promised home, eternal light.
Covenants complete,
Promises You’ll keep…
Prepared by You
For Your bride to come
And dwell…a certainty!
