My Promised Land
by Josiah Queen

Album: The Prodigal


Verse 1
You had me standing on a mountain
Walking through barren lands
You took my hand and You said
You can have this world
But I won't go with you
Oh, I won't go with you

Pre-Chorus
But I ran out of places
And feelings I was chasing
All I have is You and You alone
And I said

Chorus
Hold on, wait a minute
I don't want what You ain't in, and
I don't wanna go unless I'm going there with You
It's You there, rain or shining
You're the sun on my horizons
You are my everything
My promised land is You

Verse 2
One thing I ask, and this I'll seek
Is to live and to dwell in the house of the King
And if that means that I leave
All of my things
Then, I will go with You
Oh, I will go with You

Pre-Chorus
But I ran out of places
And feelings I was chasing
All I have is You and You alone
And I said

Chorus
Hold on, wait a minute
I don't want what You ain't in, and
I don't wanna go unless I'm going there with You
It's You there, rain or shining
You're the sun on my horizons
You are my everything
My promised land is You

Bridge
Where could I run, could I go?
Your Spirit will follow me down to Sheol
And the thing about the King
He's always with me
So I can't run from You
But I won't run from You
And I said

Chorus
Hold on, wait a minute
I don't want what You ain't in, and
I don't wanna go unless I'm going there with You
It's You there, rain or shining
You're the sun on my horizons
You are my everything
My promised land is You

I said hold on, wait a minute
I don't want what You ain't in, and
I don't wanna go unless I'm going there with You
It's You there, rain or shining
You're the sun on my horizons
You are my everything
My promised land is You
You are my everything
My promised land is You

Love this song. Speaks to my soul!!! - Apr 2025

This Jug Band Bluegrass sound is so happy and kind of Ashville style picking and grinning in the park with friends or on the sidewalks downtown. LOVE UT! Definitely 1. - Mar 2025

That release by Toby Mac last year was faithful to the Bluegrass genre, but this song is way more better, totally fun! - Mar 2025
