lyrics

We are walking to Zion
Out of Babylon
On a journey to a sacred place

Not sacred for religion
Not sacred for tradition
Sacred ‘cause we’ll dwell with our God

Emerging from the wilderness
A clearing in the trees
A city on a mountain’s what we’ll see

A tent dwelling people
Strangers in the woods
Now citizens of an unshakeable city

Fires smoke and billow
The curse thunders ‘round
He suffered hostility
The curse’s pressure weighty
We battered his side
Smote him to the ground
Christ to the Cross,
The Spirit To us,
take me to liberty!

We ache for an island
Like John the Revelator’s
In the Spirit, resting in our Maker

We’re desperate for a broom tree
A land of milk and honey
A sabbath from the buzz and pageantry

The Pharaoh Sisters Winston Salem, North Carolina
