Gaither Vocal Band's song 'Moses, Take Your Shoes Off' retells the biblical story of Moses at the burning bush, where God calls him to lead the Israelites out of bondage. The lyrics emphasize reverence for God's holiness and the sacredness of His presence. The song also connects this Old Testament event to the believer's hope in Christ, looking forward to the day when believers will be taken home. It encourages proclaiming God's love to a dying world until the trumpet sounds, suggesting that death or the rapture will bring believers onto holy ground.

Moses take your shoes off

You're on holy ground.

(I heard Him say)

Moses take your shoes off

You're on holy ground.

Fire keeps on burning

In my soul right now.

Moses take your shoes off

You're on holy ground.


God's people were in bondage,

Had no one to bring them out;

So God called old Moses

To turn their steps about.

He called him upon the mountain,

When he turned he looked around;

He said, ?Moses take your shoes off

You're on holy ground.?


In this day in which we live in

We're just waiting for our change;

So until it comes to get us

We shall of His love proclaim.

To a dying world we?ll tell it,

To be ready when the trumpet sounds.

And it'll be all right when our shoes come off

Because we?re on holy ground.
