Lou Fellingham Promised Land
ONCE I WAS DEAD TO YOU and I could not hear
I was blind to the truth and was no where near
But then You gave me life and You gripped my soul
With a love so pure and You won’t let go
What a Saviour, my redeemer, You have freed me,
Helped me understand
Through Your suffering, I’m forgiven,
Pressing onward to the promised land
Sent from His Father above Jesus walked this earth
Knew His destiny as He read the Word
Not shrinking back from the task He pursued His goal
Came to ransom lives and to make them whole
Now with the Spirit’s help I can journey on
Knowing peace with God, my convictions strong
Because of Jesus’ blood I am now secure
And because He lives my hope is sure
You’ve bought me with a price, a perfect sacrifice
Now all I have I give to You
My life no longer mine
To live or die is Christ
Bound now for Heaven
His name is Jesus, risen Saviour, He’s our healer,
Death could not withstand
His name is Jesus, sent from Heaven,
To take us homeward to the promised land
