Holy Ground

(David Osmond, Aaron Edson) © 2010 One South Publishing

I guess my life has somehow been

like the woman caught in sin

She sat there broken at His feet

she knew the law But heard let he

who’s without sin cast the first stone

And not a single one was thrown

With no man left there to accuse

she left behind her tattered shoes

I’m on Holy Ground now

and I don’t ever want to leave

Hold me here now and keep my feet planted down

in what I’ve found

Upon this holy ground

I know I didn’t have to leave

to find this feeling inside me

But I left it all the same

I broke the rules to win the game

And now its clear from where I stand

I could’ve always felt His Hand

And though His touch I did refuse

I’m laying down these tattered shoes

I’m on Holy Ground now

and I don’t ever want to leave

Hold me here now and keep my feet planted down

in what I’ve found

Upon this holy ground

With every moment standing here

I can feel Him drawing near

And if I could stay in this place

I’m sure that I could see His face

And yet I know life must go on,

so let this memory linger on inside

Become a part of me

I’m on Holy Ground now

and I don’t ever want to leave

Hold me here now and keep my feet planted down

in what I’ve found

Upon this holy ground
