The hay bales scattered and brought into a row
The garden laid out but in need of a hoe The
rain showing its worse on a darkened pond
While the sprinklers scurry across a lush lawn They sit on the deck with their Bible in hand Remembering God's grace that gave them His land Eyes behold and their lips move in silent
prayer Giving thanks to the way Jesus brought them
there From destitute and famine they entered here It
was a miracle, that’s certainly clear Nothing
but God’s Word in hand and in heart They
came here with His promise for a new start The war is fought with the battles ongoing But no prize is reaped without the blood
sowing Jesus Christ gave into death so that we live The crimson red on this land proves what He
did And from the dead to life again, He conquered In
order that my sins to Him are referred No,
the price on this land was not cheaply paid Yet
that’s the worth of every life that was laid Their fingertips touch as they ponder the past Now be ye received into glory at last Into a new land they come, from struggle no
less But glory now, for on earth God did bless
Selah
