Promised Land
Lou Fellingham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I was dead to You and I could not hear
I was blind to the truth and was nowhere 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 Savior, 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 conviction's 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 Savior, He's our healer
Death could not withstand




His name is Jesus, sent from Heaven
To take us homeward to The Promised Land
