Promised Land

By Adele Hattingh

Oh promised land
Beholding my heart in your bosom
Engraving my name on your soil
Oh promise me…

Take my soul to the top of your mountains
Lead my heart to the depth of your seas
Hold my hand on this journey
As you promise me…

How we ache to return
Your people
Your spirit
How we enslave ourselves
To your promise…

Promise me
A promise of overwhelming words
Promise me
A land of peace and provision
Promise me
That I’ll be there…

Oh promised land!
