The Land Of The Lord Poem by Michael Walker

There is a country bordering the sea,
Where deserts meet the gardens' greenery,
And mountains stand for an eternity
Beneath the freedom of an ancient tree.

Here did first begin the human race,
Starting with our parents' cursed embrace,
So God Himself assumed a human face
To rescue us in a new state of grace.

Lo and behold! The Land of the Lord
Is Israel, under His swift sword,
For Earth and Heaven bow down at His Word,
That in the Temple, He may be adored.

Follow where the Son of Man has trod,
That you may taste the Flesh and Blood of God.
