| | Deuteronomy 8:7-10 |
| 1. | God has set the land before us, |
| | And the land we will possess. |
| | God has finally found a people |
| | Tired of all the wilderness. |
| | Down with every weight and sin; |
| | Let's go up and enter in. |
| | Hallelujah, Hallelujah, |
| | Hallelujah, Amen. |
| 2. | God has cleared the way before us |
| | Through the victory of His Son; |
| | Raised the Victor's banner o'er us, |
| | All the battles He has won. |
| | All that's left for us to do |
| | Is by faith to follow through. |
| 3. | It's a land of hills and valleys, |
| | Brooks and water flowing free; |
| | Fountains rich with living water, |
| | Streams that flow abundantly. |
| | Brothers, joyfully we stand |
| | In His promise, Christ the land. |
| 4. | God has made the fruit to grow here, |
| | Filled the land with produce sweet: |
| | Olive oil and pomegranates, |
| | Fig trees, honey, vines and wheat. |
| | We need nothing else besides, |
| | All we need the land provides. |
| 5. | We have eaten unto fullness, |
| | And with joy we bless the Lord, |
| | For the good land He has given; |
| | Faithful to His promised Word. |
| | Here we find there is not lack- |
| | Never, never we'll go back! |
| 6. | All we need to do is labor, |
| | Working on the land each day; |
| | Not expecting 'manna' blessing, |
| | Working in a normal way. |
| | God and man cooperating |
| | While for harvest we are waiting. |
| 7. | Labor thus will bring the increase |
| | Of the land with all its worth, |
| | And the Lord will have the harvest, |
| | When He comes to reap the earth. |
| | To provide the Lord the way, |
| | We must labor day by day. |
