lyrics

Looked up at the sky like Abraham
And I counted the stars and the grains of the sand
If you try to measure infinity
It'll blow your mind and your sanity

Went to the waters and they opened wide
Poured down torrents from the holy sky
Went for a ride upon the eagles wings
To the place where the tongues of men and angels sing

Sun and moon they bowed down low
Along with the sheaves Joseph's brothers grow
Mary Mary now don't you weep
Let the slaves in the cotton fields speak

Brought over the sea from Africa
Bound with the chains of Babylon
Held to the bosom of Abraham
Sing to me child of the promised land

Sing Sing child of the promised land

Behold what goodness and severity
Upon temptations mediocrity
Upon your sinful wicked ways
Grace has come but fire remains
