Song: Land of the Living by Roo Panes

I first heard this beautiful song on January 1, 2018. It is called "Land of the Living" and is written by Roo (Andrew) Panes.

You can hear the song here:

I looked up the verse where it mentions "land of the living".... it is from Psalms 27.

I would have lost heart, unless I believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 
Psalm 27:13

Do you know for sure that the singer (I have not yet heard it) references the psalm rather than Tír na mBeó - the Celtic-Irish elfland as in land of "eternal life" where the dead go?

I have not heard of the Celtic-Irish elfland. I think he is probably referencing the Psalm.

I asked him over FB, no answer so far - do you have the lyrics, it might help determine which?

On balance, there could be a kind of reference to the Psalm, yes!

I would have lost heart, unless I believed

At least the latter part directly echoed.

that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Latter part verbally echoed and former part somewhat implied by context.

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands ,   to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet   to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but  our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help   to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible,  the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel,  we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message,  Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked,  what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy,  with other work than His, What if our feet are walking,  where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him,  Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint  (1862-1932)    I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...

L. Moody                                                                                                   I just started reading "The God Who is There" by Francis Schaeffer. It is an excellent book.                                   This cat has been hanging out by our back door, and w...
