Twelve men stood on the border
Gazing at the promise land
They had a job ahead of them
Given from Moses a command

They went all over the land
To spy out the towns
The inhabitants were giants
Fruit was abundantly found

The men gave their report
The Israelites were so afraid
This land seemed impossible
They wished in Egypt they'd have stayed

The wanted to chose another leader
And stone the two that disagreed
Joshua and Caleb believed Gods promise
They weren't about to flee

They knew that God was on their side
He parted the red sea for them
The others had forgotten
And were ready to give in

We are standing at the edge
Of the promise land
Trusting our God is faithful
Obeying his commands

Oh, the promise land!
I want to enter in
There is a place of rest there
To escape from this world's sin
