The Promised Land

We see before us our Lord’s Promised Land
With milk and honey for us ever flows
And wonder if again we can there stand
To mercy of the Lord in Eden know.

Will warfare of our earth with heaven end,
Become a land where promises are kept?
For we are outcasts with our Adam’s sin,
And we in east our bitter tears have wept.

And then we see a cross upon a hill;
It’s Eden’s gate now open for us all
When we consent to let Him our sin kill–
Atone for all who’ve lived in Adam’s fall.

May we all enter gate to New Life Tree
And live in mercy’s promise, now sin free.
