There Is a Holy Land Called Palestine (For the Children of Gaza)

Rose with Teeth Music Feed

Dedicated to the children of Gaza, who have seen their friends killed in the streets, who fear death every minute, who no longer have families to go home to, who have seen the land they hold dear systematically turned into hell. To the hope that one day they might be able to grow up and have children of their own who will not know the sound of bombs exploding around them, who will be able to sail on the Mediterranean freely, who will never have to worry that they could come home only to piles of smouldering rubble where their beds and toys should be. To the hope that their children's children will grow up in prosperity and freedom, with plenty of delicious food to fill their bellies, cosy beds to sleep in, safe streets to play on, beautiful schools to learn in, and love in their hearts and dreams in their heads, that they will make into reality with their soft and unscarred hands. Κύριε ἐλέησόν LOVE YOU ALL PREPARE YOURSELVES THINGS CAN GET BETTER IT'S IN YOUR HANDS عيد ميلاد مَجيد https://www.episcopalrelief.org/product/middle-east/ https://support.anera.org/a/palestine-emergency LYRICS: There is a holy land called Palestine 'round which the human heart will ever twine. Sacred each height sublime, sacred each creeping vine, sacred each scene of thine, blest Palestine. There in that holy land, the feet have trod of prophets, priests, and kings, angels and God. There Abram's faith was tried, there David sang and cried, there Christ was born and died, in Palestine.
