Holy Ground

Words by Woodie Guthrie

Take off, take off your shoes
This place you’re standing, it’s holy ground
Take off, take off your shoes
The spot you’re standing, its holy ground
These words I heard in my burning bush
This place you’re standing, it’s holy ground
I heard my fiery voice speak to me
This spot you’re standing, it’s holy ground
That spot is holy ground
That place you stand it’s holy ground
This place you tread, it’s holy ground
God made this place his holy ground
Take off your shoes and pray
The ground you walk it’s holy ground
Every spot on earth I trapse around
Every spot I walk it’s holy ground
Every spot it’s holy ground
Every little inch it’s holy ground
Every grain of dirt it’s holy ground
Every spot I walk it’s holy ground

What is Holy ground? Where is it? According to the song above, it's every spot on earth. Believe that? Who made the earth? Can we limit the area that's considered Holy ground? We are taught to call upon the Name of the Lord, whenever and wherever we need or desire...if we call upon Him it is a natural conclusion that He is there with us. When we stand in the presence of God, we are on Holy Ground.
