Holy Land
Parody of "Hold My Hand" by Hootie & the Blowfish
(Joshua 24)

When the Lord above -- planned some land for this
He walked us through the water -- around the wilderness
With a little piece -- of some ground for me
We'll take the land together –- we'll take the Promised Land

'Cause God's got a land for you -- ahhh
A land that He promised you

Yes, today -- choose who you plan to serve
The land is full of idols here -- they're gonna make you swerve
So get rid of -- them can't you see they're vile
We'll take 'em all together -- drop 'em on a pile, 'cause

God's got a land for you -- God's got a land for you
A land that He promised you -- it's a land He promised you and
Holy land -- goin' to a whole new land
Holy land -- I'll take you to a place where you can be
Holy land -- after Deuteronomy, because
God's gonna give you the best of -- the best of the land

See, it was waiting -- and we were wasting time
Till we -- walked across the Jordan -- and fought the Canaanties
And there's still more -- and you must clean it out
We don't wanna deal with compromises
Don't wanna give an inch of ground, 'cause

God's got a land for you -- God's got a land for you
A land that He promised you – ah, it's a land He promised you-- ohhh
Holy land -- goin' to a holy land
Holy land -- I'll take you to the Promised Land
Holy land -- pledge allegiance to the Lord 'cause
God's gonna give you the best of -- the best of the land

LEAD Yeah-eah
Awwwww

Everyone, won't you listen, listen, listen
Holy land -- goin' to a whole new land
Holy land -- I'll take you to a place for you and me
Holy land – it's a place you'll wanna be, because
I-I-I oh-oh-oh know, know – know, know, know

Holy land -- goin' to a holy land
Holy land -- I'll take you to the Promised Land
Holy land – maybe we can't escape the world, but
God's gonna give you the best of, the best of the land
Ah-ah -- the best of the la-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-and

Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves
this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond
the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as
for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
