The good land has been given— 'Tis Christ in all He is! Let's claim Him with boldness, Stand on God's promises! He's our allotted portion, So vast, immeasurable! Unsearchable riches! He's inexhaustible! |
| Look! Milk and honey flowing! What wealth there is to gain! We're crossing river Jordan! We roam no more! We enter in, Christ to obtain! |

Though foes try every tactic To make us shy away, We, fearless, march onward, Much to their great dismay! Forgetting all our failures, We're pressing on to seize The good land, God's interest, With hearts of full belief! |
| The giants may seem mighty, But God is on our side; He's fighting for us daily! "The Nephilim are bread for us!" We boldly cry! |

Let us go up at once and Possess the land in sight, For we are well able To overcome with might! We care not for the outward; We hear not Satan's lies. "Rejoice not against us, For when we fall, we rise!" |
| Though we may feel defeated, "How can grasshoppers win?" That's only in our own sight; So we no more look to ourselves But unto Him! |

We look unto our Captain, Our Leader and our Way; We know Him, show strength, and Take action right away! We execute His triumph, Subdue each foe we meet; Dominion He gives us To crush them 'neath our feet! |
| We're in this all together; We're fighting corporately! The warrior-bride we're readying! The enemy cannot withstand God's formed army! |

'Tis not to win we're fighting; We fight from victory; Our Captain is Conqu'ror And us to glory leads! Our banners we're unfurling; Our armor's linen bright; Our Love finds us lovely; Our foes are terrified! |
| From glory unto glory, E'er higher we ascend; We're pressing onward, upward, Jerusalem to Zion go, This age to end! |
|

Note on "our armor's linen bright": The saints fight with soft, linen armor ("Senir" meaning "soft armor" in S.S. 4:8; Rev. 19:14). Hard metal armor is unnecessary, for Christ has already won the victory! Hallelujah! |

I was looking for the old song take the Land. Praise You dear Lord for this new updated song on taking the Land. Today we have been in Genesis 8 on Noah’s family living on the Land after the flood and in Chronicles the children of Israel living in the Land after returning from Babylon.
Here we are today in the New Testament we have returned from all the divisions of Babylon to enjoy, experience, possess, Christ our good Land. Oh we can’t praise You enough dear Lord.

We’re pressing onward, upward,
Jerusalem to Zion go,
This age to end!
