How great you are, O Promised Land,
When we can see you here–
A glimpse we see formed by God’s hand
When He in hearts draws near.
Within, a veil is blown away
By Holy Spirit’s wind,
And in us Father has His way
To cleanse us of our sin.
When that is done we heaven know
As virtue enters us,
And Promised Land within us flows
When Jesus our hearts trust.
Comes wisdom, and we understand
That we’ll be taken in
To land where freedom is God’s plan,
Where all are free of sin.
At last we’re free to sing God’s praise
On this side of the gate,
And know the truth that He will raise
Those grave clothes of our fate.
For here we die, but there we’ll live
Where bodies, souls are free–
Alive with life God freely gives,
And Promised Land we see.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
