Promised Land
tribl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I couldn't find You
If I'm being honest
I'm not sure I really tried
I wrestled with angels
Defending my idols
Walking in circles p
Now my eyes are open
Heavens a breath away
You broke through my borders
You plotted my great escape
I'm running to freedom
I'm taking my second chance
Out of the grave
Into the promised land
It's me who was hiding
Cause You do the finding
I used to wander
Now I'm just lost in you
My heart is beating
I'm coming alive I'm coming alive
If seeings believing
Then I don't even have to try
There is a place where faith become sight
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
The lyrics of "Promised Land" by Tribl & Maverick City Music speak about the journey of finding God's love and acceptance. The first verse admits to the lack of effort in finding God and defending one's own idols, leading to a cycle of confusion and being lost. However, the chorus reveals the breakthrough of finding hope, faith, and freedom through God, with the promise of a blessed land. The second verse reiterates that it was God who found the lost soul instead of the other way around, and now, the singer relishes their newfound liberation and vibrancy. The bridge brings together the idea of faith, surrender, and sight, culminating in God's illumination that brings meaning and purpose to life.

You were not hiding
I was the one who wasn't searching for You
But I couldn't find You
But I couldn't see You clearly
If I'm being honest
To be truthful
I'm not sure I really tried
I didn't put in enough effort
I wrestled with angels
I had inner conflicts
Defending my idols
Protecting my false beliefs
Walking in circles
Going nowhere
Until I was blinded by the light
Until my eyes were opened to the truth
Now my eyes are open
Now I see the way
Heavens a breath away
Heaven is closer than ever
You broke through my borders
You broke down my barriers
You plotted my great escape
You made a way for me to break free
I'm running to freedom
I am running towards liberation
I'm taking my second chance
I am taking a new opportunity
Out of the grave
Far from death
Into the promised land
Into the land of hope
It's me who was hiding
It was me who was not revealing myself
Cause You do the finding
Because You reveal the truth
I used to wander
I used to be lost
Now I'm just lost in you
Now I am immersed in You
My heart is beating
My heart is alive
I'm coming alive I'm coming alive
I am truly alive
If seeings believing
If seeing is believing
Then I don't even have to try
Then I don't need to put in effort
There is a place where faith become sight
There is a place where trust becomes clear
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
You reveal the truth and bring in enlightenment
