The Song Of Exodus/This Land Is Mine

 

 

 In memory of the lives lost in Israel on October 7, 2023.
 

 "Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."

This land is mine

God gave this land to me

This brave and ancient land to me.

And when the morning song reveals her hills and plains

And I see a land where children can run free. 

So take my hand

And walk this land with me.

 And walk this golden land with me.

Though I am just a man

when you are by my side

With the help of God

I know I can be strong.

To make this land our home

If I must fight

I'll fight to make this land our home

Until I die

this land is mine. 

So take my hand

And walk this land with me

And walk this golden land with me.

To make this land our home

If I must fight

I'll fight to make this land our home

Until I die

This land is mine.
