We see Your land stretched out before,
A land where milk and honey flow,
And long for what You have in store
For those in hearts Your virtues know.
Those virtues come from truth You give
That ever lasts through all of time
Where milk and honey always live;
To earth they come from heaven’s clime.
Eternity is present here
In time but also is beyond,
And we are called to see it there–
Together earth with heaven bonds.
From here to there transition comes
Through Jesus’ death and risen life
Where milk and honey now become
His Body, Blood, His heaven’s light.
We eat His Body, drink His Blood;
His honey, milk, from Promised Land
Were present where First Adam stood–
Again made present by His hand.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
