HOLY GROUND (Geron Davis) Verse 1 When I walked through the doors I sensed His presence And I knew this was a place where love abounds For this is a temple the God we love abides here Oh we are standing in His presence on holy ground CHORUS We are standing on holy ground And I know that there are angels all around Let us praise Jesus now For we are standing in His presence on holy ground Verse 2 In His presence I know there is joy beyond all measure And at His feet sweet peace of mind can still be found For when we have a need He is still the answer Reach out and claim it for we are standing on holy ground CHORUS Let us praise Jesus now For we are standing in His presence on holy ground Recorded by Barbara Streisand on her Higher Ground CD. Streisand substitutes "God" for "Jesus." ©1983, Meadowgreen Music Company source: http://www.music-lyrics-gospel.com/gospel_music_lyrics/we_are_standing_on_holy_ground_6083.asp corrections made after listening to the Streisand recording. |

31 Jan 10 - 01:45 AM (#2826136) Subject: RE: Origins: This Is Holy Ground From: wysiwyg Thanks, Joe-- I've never heard or seen the longer form. As a praise-piece, most folks know only the chorus version. Lotta "praise and worship" genre stuff is like that-- just the chorus, for easily-remembered group singing sans songbook or with overhead projectors only. ~S~ |

31 Jan 10 - 01:57 AM (#2826142) Subject: RE: Origins: This Is Holy Ground From: Joe Offer Yeah, the Celebration Hymnal has just the chorus of the Geron Davis song, but most recordings seem to have the whole shebang. John Michael Talbot introduced us "Vatican II Catholics" to the Beatty song. -Joe- |
