NEARING ISRAEL
Here we are
Worn and bruised
Flying in planes
Ain’t a cruise
We’ve paid a price
Of worry and some fear
Drained of vigor
Our bodies scream stop!
And yet ahead we see
The Land of the Lord
Beckoning to us
Come, see and explore
See the valleys
Those conquerors settled
Drawing Israel
From God’s hand
See the hills
Where Jesus walked
Bringing peace
To those He sought
Birthing life
For you and me
Giving spiritual eyes
That we might see
Walking roads
Of wisdom’s school
Giving ear
To prophet’s talk
I want to see
I seek to know
Lord help me
To see your home
CC 12/28/03
