Asleep on Holy Ground (Israel) Songtext
von Michael Card

A stone for a pillow as hard as his head
He slept on holy ground
The dreaming deciever, he drempt of a ladder

With angels up and down

And the ladder was a way
The stairway was a sign
The gates of heaven opened wide

Revealing the divine

Asleep on holy ground he lay

Oblivious to the night

Inside his head and heart were full of inexpressible light
Soon he would be confronted by the friend that we most fear


Asleep on holy ground he lay
Deceitful blessed seer

As he wrestled with a man
The dream that he drempt now transformed to a nightmare

The unearthly power of his beloved opponent made Jacob understand
That the wrestling was the way
The struggle was the sign
He limped away his lesson learned
Now israel was defined

Chorus:
He limped away on holy ground awakened from the dream
Having learned his costly lesson from the way of the Nazarine
That pain′s the path to blessing love will fight us to be found

And God remains a dream to those who sleep on holy ground
Chorus
