lyrics

In the Land of Promise
Born in Bethlehem
The Lord of all creation
In his fullness came
From the heights of heaven
Down to earth below
In the Land of Promise
Long ago

Our God, heaven cannot hold him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall fall away
When he comes to reign
In the Land of Promise
A stable place sufficed
For the Lord Almighty
Jesus Christ

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and serapim's
Praises filled the air
But his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped her beloved
With a kiss

What then can I give him
Empty as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would play my part
Yet what i have I'll give him
Give my heart

I suppose I am slightly biased as it is my very talented and lovely Son Andy Green and wonderful friend Dave Woodman who have made this fabulous album together. However, despite this I love the unique sound of the dulcimer and the beautiful music so divinely put together creating an album that I will play often to soothe and thrill me when I need it most. Thank you . Linda Bond
