Mark is a computer programmer and composer in London, England. He wrote the music and sequenced the MIDI, and I added the words. Mark plans to build a website for his songs, and til then I'll host our collaborations here. This is our second collaboration.

I'M HEADED FOR THE PROMISED LAND
Music by Mark Wilkinson, Words by Larry Holder
Copyright (C) 1998 Mark Wilkinson and Larry Holder

Day by day,
I am headed for the Promised Land.
Born from above,
I am headed for the Promised Land!
By the mercy of God,
I am safe within the power of His hand.
Day by day,
I am headed for the Promised Land!

Though today, I cannot see Him,
In my heart, I know He's there.
One day soon, I'll rise to greet Him;
All at once He'll appear!
Til He comes, I will tell of Jesus,
Tell the world of His love.
Tell them how they can come to know Him,
How they, too, can be born from above!

Day by day,
I am headed for the Promised Land.
Born from above,
And by grace I fin'lly understand,
By the mercy of God,
I am safe within the power of His hand.
One fine day,
I'll see Jesus in the Promised Land!

Though the world, they cannot see Him,
Though they mock the words I say,
Still I know, He reigns in glory;
He's the Life and the Way!
Til He comes, I will tell of Jesus,
How He died for my sin,
Tell them how they can live forever,
How they, too, can be born again!

Day by day,
I am headed for the Promised Land.
Born from above,
I am headed for the Promised Land!
By the mercy of God,
I am safe within the power of His hand.
Praise His Name,
I am headed for the Promised Land!
