God Owns The Land
God owns the land, on both sides of the
river.
I'll live for Him here, then on the other
side forever.
Jesus gave His life, that I could be free.
He hung on that cross, for you, and for me.
In the winter of my life, I think about the
other side.
I live for Him here, but there, forever
abide.
I know He's there waiting, so I won't be
afraid.
When the death Angel comes, and In the
ground I am laid.
I won't stay there, but will rise to the
sky.
Where forever I'll live, and I'll never
again cry.
My Lord will be there to dry every tear.
And throughout all eternity, to Him I'll be
near.
He owns the land here on which I trod.
And He owns the land there, where we'll
dwell with God.
So life here I will live, until He calls out
to me.
And says, "Come on home child, and live here
with Me."
