Verse 1

How could this be holy ground
Where straw and stone became a crown
A stable floor who could have thought
The birthplace of the one true God

Verse 2

We prayed with hope through silent years
For our Messiah to appear
Then thunder came through infant cries
The Word made flesh the Lord most high

Chorus

This is holy ground
Heaven here bows down
The dust is where Your glory shone
A cradle for a throne
Your heart now beats for us
A sacred cry of love
We can see it now

Refrain

We were standing on holy ground
We were standing on holy ground

Verse 3

Behold our Saviour now has come
For unto us a child is born
The angels sang and glory fell
Our God with us Emmanuel

The holy hush the in between

The darkened ground reflects Your light

The lowest place You make it shine
This mortal life becomes divine
I kneel right here and bow my soul
This ground is Yours o God I know

Your heart now beats for us
A sacred cry of love
