Holy Ground
Geron Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In His presence
There is joy beyond measure
And at His feet
Peace of mind can still be found
And if you have a need

I know He has every answer
But you've got to reach out and claim it
For you are standing on holy ground

We are standing on holy ground
And I know that there are angels all around
Let us praise Jesus now
We are standing in His presence
On holy ground

Spoken:
He's here in this place tonight
Altogether now, let's praise

We are standing (yes, we're standing) on holy ground
And I know that there are angels all around
Let us praise (let us praise) Jesus now
Praise Him right now
We are standing in His presence
On holy ground

So let us praise
We're here to praise
Jesus now
Praise His mighty name right now

We are standing in His presence
We are standing, standing in His presence
Yes, we are standing in His presence
On holy ground




We're on holy ground
Holy ground

For those who don't know ... this performance is Barbra Streisand's rendition (from her 1997 Higher Ground) album VERBATIM (down to the last note) which I have no problem with because you just can't improve on sheer perfection. Just giving credit, where credit is due.

This touched me like you cannot imagine. I am old and sick. I've been a Christian my whole life. Now near death, I feel His presence more than ever before. I want to thank all of you for allowing people in our country to share your beautiful music. Hard to believe that you are not angels.
