On this side of liberation

We are on our way and home

There?s an aching deep inside me

I can feel it in my bones

Wounded by manipulation

Still, I hear Your still, small voice

Saying child lift your head

In the desert there?s a well of joy, rejoice

Shake the dust off my feet

Follow the fire that?s leading me

I will trust in the Son of man

Wherever You are is my promised land

On the road of our salvation

Freedom rises like the sun

On the ones who went before us

And the ones still yet to come

With my sisters and my brothers

Leaving broken chains behind

All the trouble we have seen

Lord, we know You will redeem in time, in time

Shake the dust off my feet

Follow the fire that?s leading me

I will trust in the Son of man

Wherever You are is my promised land

Where You run, we run

Where You stand, we stand

Wherever You are is our promised land

Where You run, we run

Where You stand, we stand

Wherever You are is our promised land

Where You run, we run

Where You stand, we stand

Wherever You are is our promised land

Where You run, we run

Where You stand, we stand

Wherever You are is our promised land
