Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

The Presence

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Scouts have come from far away

Burnin' with what they say

Ten of 'em shakin' an' so afraid

Two sayin', "we got it made"

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take them cities one by one

You know they're bound to fall

Well, come along now

Don't you wait too long

Can't cha hear that trumpet call

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Cities all within our hearts

Sword is in our hand

It's a waste of life in the wilderness

He's givin' us the Promise Land

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

In the presence of the King

Come on, clap your hands and sing

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land

Take it from the wilderness

Into the Promise Land...
