I have took you out of Canaan the land of the covenantA land full with compromise But only for a time 'cause Canaan's sins run deep, andI have put you in this place to make the nation greatI have increased your strength and now I'm calling you outFor now I hear a groan ariseAnd there's a covenant that survivesBy the offering of faithful man who left his own for the assurance of a new landFollowing blind belief, and assurance as big as the sands of the seaAnd just as smoke and flame pass between him that day,Smoke and flame will take the lead againTread light, tread slow, tread carefully, bear your feet, For the place you stand is holy ground, hallowed groundYour feet stand at the food of the mountain of GodTread light, tread slow, tread carefully, bear your feet,For this is bigger than just one call, one manThe chosen ones will become Your people againOut of Egypt has come a fruitful vine (Four hundred years)I will plant you on the mountain where I abide (Is a long time)(And four hundred longer still)I will plant you on the mountain where I abideI will plant you on the mountain where I abideSongtexteI will show the strength and retribution of my right handI will single you out, a clear dividing line that will leave no doubtAnd I will make your name a fearful thing throughout the landThey will remember Israel, they will remember her GodGather the people, gather the elders, gather the children of your fathersGather together all your possessions And you will plunder from their indiscretionsBlood, frogs, lice, flies and diseaseAnd I will do many mighty things that they may tremble before your GodBut still their hearts wont relent, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and deathAnd the power of the Almighty will break their resolveNow when these trials come to an end you will stand before me here again And you will say "Surely the Lord is a man of war" Aus Songtexte Mania
