Thank you Martmarié, Christian, Daniël and my entire family for your love and support. Thanks to Stellenbosch Gemeente for giving me a strong foundation and for being a safe space. Every musician who played on the recording and who I've had the privilege to play this song with at church, you have all shaped what this song has become sonically.

This song is dedicated to the Stellenbosch Paralympic Athletes and their support team who train and compete with an acute awareness of the Holy Ground they move on wherever they are.

Holy Ground

Verse 1:
Every time I lift my hands up to the sky
I know I stand on holy ground
Every time I wipe a tear from someone’s eye
My feet are bound to holy ground

Pre Chorus 1:
When I jump for joy and praise Your holy Name
Or when I’m in despair and nothing good remains
When I’m gripped by fear or when I’m safe and sound
I shall believe I’m standing on Your holy ground

Chorus:
You make all things sacred You make all things new
Everywhere I go is holy, because of You
I’ll remember I was lost, but now I’m found
Everywhere I go I stand on holy ground

Verse 2:
Every day that sees the setting of the sun
My work was done on holy ground
Every time I see that justice has been done
Your feet just walked on holy ground

PreChorus 2:
When I feel the unforced rhythm of Your Grace
Or when it feels like I can hardly see Your face
When the good or when the bad news is announced
My feet are planted firmly on Your holy ground

Bridge:
Holy, holy, holy. No place escapes Your glory
Your presence fills the earth
Everywhere You are is holy

Chorus: x2
You make all things sacred You make all things new
Everywhere I go is holy, because of You
I’ll remember I was lost, but now I’m found
Everywhere I go I stand on holy ground

End:
Every time I see Your beauty wander by
I know I've found holy ground
