"Holy Ground" lyrics

"Holy Ground"

I'm a child of Appalachia
Where my feet are in the ground
Buried on the hillside
Near a creek by my house
Trees dance like gypsies
In the shadows of old coal kings
And in the stories of my people
And all the songs I sing

We sing child, tell me what you're looking for
It's written in your Bible
Or in an old coal company store
There's something in the water
When my lost soul was found
Now it's buried in my bones and blood
Beneath this holy ground

Well there's wood smoke in my clothes
And a fire up on the hill
There's something in the fruit jar
You'll always get your fill
You can say a sinner's prayer
But it won't come running to you
Yeah, I'll be in church on Sunday
White-knuckled on the pews

We sing child, tell me what you're looking for
It's written in your Bible
Or in an old coal company store
There's something in the water
When my lost soul was found
Now it's buried in my bones and blood
Beneath this holy ground

We sing Holy
Holy
Lord God Almighty
Holy
Holy
Lord God Almighty
Holy
Holy
Lord God Almighty
