NOTE: This song was recorded at a concert at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Gaffney SC on June 2, 1996, the final stop on our first tour. It was released on a homemade cassette called "Dark Side of the Peachoid" in late 1996.
When the Lord above
Gave this land to us
He walked us through the water
around the wilderness
With a little piece of some ground for me
We'll take this land together
Take the promised land
'Cause God's got a land for you
A land that He promised you
Yes, today
Choose who you plan to serve
The land is full of idols here
They're gonna make you swerve
So get rid of
The things that make you fall
We'll take 'em all together
Burn 'em in a pile
'Cause God's got a land for you
A land that He promised you
It's a holy land Ð holy land Ð holy land
'Cause God's gonna give you
The best of
The best of the land
See, it was waiting
And we were wasting time
Until we walked across the Jordan
And fought the Canaanties
And there's still more
And you must clean it out
Don't wanna deal with compromises
Don't wanna give an inch of ground
CHORUS
Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
