Holy Land

I have swam the winding Jordan

Crossed the Sea of Galilee,

I climbed up to Masada

Saw the Mediterranean sea

Put my hands upon the wall

Where the Temple proudly stood

And I prayed to God Almighty there

The hardest that I could!

O Holy Land,

O blessed land,

Where Jesus once did walk

I heard your cries,

Your ancient sighs

As if the stones could talk

You call the world to come and see

The place where Jesus Rose

O holy land, o precious land

You’re where my spirit grows

I walked down through the valley

Where David slung the stone

Saw camels in the desert

Where the beduins call there home

I saw the holy mountain

Where Jesus did ascend,

And stood on calvary’s hilltop

Where Jesus paid my sin!

O Holy Land,

O blessed land,

Where Jesus once did walk

I heard your cries,

Your ancient sighs

As if the stones could talk

You call the world to come and see

The place where Jesus Rose

O holy land, o precious land

You’re where my spirit grows
