This Cliff Richard song was used in a documentary by Cliff Barrows in the late 1960's. I remember it as a child . . . and it was brought to my mind yesterday as I was flying home from Amarillo. Looking out at the earth from 45,000 feet above it, I heard the phrase go thru my mind, "This is His Land" and the song came to me.
His Land, Cliff Richard
Yes, it is His land, all of it His
He stepped it off and marked it there,...(stepped it off and marked it there)
To be His Earthly thoroughfare,...(to be His Earthly thoroughfare)
And He blessed it with His Hand,...yes, it's a great land, all of it is
And as it blooms before our eyes,...(as it blooms before our eyes)
Just like an Eden Paradise,...(like an Eden Paradise)
The world will understand,...(world will understand)...this is His Land
Slowly from hiding but surely they come
Back to the homeland their fathers will front
Israel their citadel, Israel their home
Now they are here at last never to roam
Here they will stay and bring life to the land
It's a new day and with boldness they walk, tall and so straight --
see them stand!
Yes, it is His land, all of it His
He stepped it off and marked it there...(stepped it off and marked it there)
To be His Earthly thoroughfare,...(to be His Earthly thoroughfare)
And then he blessed it with His Hand,...yes, it's a great land, all of it is
And as blooms before our eyes,...(as it blooms before our eyes)
Like an Eden paradise,...(like an Eden paradise)
The world will understand,...(world will understand)...this is His land
Rich fertile valleys of russet and gold, carpets of green over mountains
unfold
Harvest of plenty so joyous and bright, her fields, her treasures...
magnificent sight
This is the Israel promised of old, this is the miracle happening now
As sages and Prophets foretold...
Yes, it is His land......
His Land, Cliff Richard
