The Promised Land

Somewhere I have read of a place, a Promised Land Where no shame, no flame, and no thieving man could steal you away And I might not get there with you, but I've been to the mountaintop Ive looked over, and I have seen the Promised Land Somewhere I have read of a place, a Promised Land Of a grace I don't understand, its over you, over me Of a love that lifted the Red Sea, twas love that lifted the Red Sea Only love can lead me home Somewhere I have read of a place, a promised land Where no pillar of fire and no more funeral pyres alight along the way And I might not get there with you, but Ive been to the mountaintop Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Only love can lead me home Jesus came to meet his 12, at the boundary, at the Borderline He said take my hand, don't you understand? You're home child In the Promised Land Twas love leading me, it is love leading me home
