| Ancient city walls, rich and fertile fields |
| A place of past and present where history’s revealed |
| Walk the paths of old, a land beyond compare |
| The shofar sounds the call for people everywhere |
| My heart will not forget to always speak your name |
| I’ll sing the song of Zion with tender heart proclaim |
| The longing of the ages within the heart of man |
| The crossroads of the world in God’s eternal plan |
| Israel, Israel eternal land of promise, desire of my heart |
| Israel, Israel a land that’s like no other, let all the earth proclaim |
| That when you stand on holy ground |
| You’ll never be the same |
| God moved the hearts of men who in turn moved the world |
| After years of yearning Zion was unfurled |
| A homeland for God’s people designed by His own hand |
| The hope of generations forever it will stand |
| Israel, Israel eternal land of promise, desire of my heart |
| Israel, Israel a land that’s like no other, let all the earth proclaim |
| That when you stand on holy ground |
| You’ll never be the same |
| From the heights of Mount Hermon to the depths of the Dead Sea |
| From the beaches of the coastline to the shores of Galilee |
| From the Jordan Valley up to Jerusalem |
| The land itself proclaims you’ll never be the same, the same |
| In Israel, Israel eternal land of promise, desire of my heart |
| Israel, Israel a land that’s like no other, let all the earth proclaim |
| That when you stand on holy ground |
| You’ll never be the same |
