THIS IS HOLY GROUND
Upon which we’re standing
The presence of Almighty is here
God all else disappears when captured by Your greatness
You’re deeply loved and celebrated here
Singing You are awesome
You are awesome
Almighty is Your name
Here on earth as in heaven we worship and adore You
There’s none like You
In this place as in heaven we lavish on You praises
Upon praises
Upon praises
Hear all of heaven singing songs of adoration
Endless praises like thunder rolls
And as Your church who have this gift of salvation
We rejoice as the redeemed of the Lord
For You have saved us
You have saved us
All honour to Your name

Biblical Message
Exodus 3:5 calls the ground holy because God is present. Matthew 6:10 prays for God’s will on earth as in heaven, while Revelation 7:9–12 portrays redeemed people and angels offering endless praise.
Reflection
No building can contain God, yet awareness of His presence changes how we gather. Reverence and joy meet when rescued people remember who stands among them.
