Somewhere I have read of a place, a Promised Land
Where no shame, no flame, and no thieving man could steal you away
And I might not get there with you, but I've been to the mountaintop
Ive looked over, and I have seen the Promised Land
Somewhere I have read of a place, a Promised Land
Of a grace I don't understand, its over you, over me
Of a love that lifted the Red Sea, twas love that lifted the Red Sea
Only love can lead me home
Somewhere I have read of a place, a promised land
Where no pillar of fire and no more funeral pyres alight along the way
And I might not get there with you, but Ive been to the mountaintop
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Only love can lead me home
Jesus came to meet his 12, at the boundary, at the Borderline
He said take my hand, don't you understand? You're home child
In the Promised Land
Twas love leading me, it is love leading me home
