Joselyn: LISTEN

Holy Land

(Joselyn)
September 8, 2009
Joselyn Wilkinson

Verse 1

This land once was holy

But its river has run dry

Spirit’s whisper can’t be

Heard over battle cries

 

My love is a prayer

And I plant it in dust

Water it with tears

And walk away in trust

 

Chorus 1

There ain’t no such thing

As a holy war

Brother against brother

Is not the way we planned

No there ain’t no such thing

As a holy war

Turn around, everywhere we stand

Is holy land

 

Verse 2

He made this land for you

Please be careful I implore you

Don’t harm the one who bore you

Or the child stretched between your hands

 

Cause this land must sustain her

Don’t want its stain to pain her

Let the rain of her blameless heart

Wash all yours away

 

Chorus 2

There ain’t no such thing

As a holy war

Brother against brother

Is not the way we planned

No there ain’t no such thing

As a holy war

Turn around, everywhere we stand

Is holy land

 

Bridge

I need this peace

Cause you are part of me

If we want to find our heaven

We make it first as it was meant to be

 

Chorus 3
