Holy ground
words and music: © Irene Bom
1. The desert seems deserted but it is not
I saw a burning bush not burning up
and I lost the plot
I venture closer, intrigued by the sight
Full of trepidation, but also quite excited.
CHORUS:
Oo Oo This is holy ground (This is holy ground)
Oo Oo The God of Israel says to me
No shoes allowed
This is holy, holy, holy, holy, holy ground
2. The desert takes no prisoners – it set me free
I hear the voice of God call my name
And plant a seed
He who holds the future says he has a plan
My people need a leader, and I’m to be that man.
(Repeat Chorus)
3. The desert comes to Pharaoh and strips him bare
In time he does let up and let us go
Be wise, though, beware
We must reach the desert before they catch us up
We have a rendezvous with the God in whom we trust.
(Repeat Chorus)
