Raleigh Thornton performs a call-and-response piece asking for eyes to see the holy ground beneath everyday life. Every person you meet, regardless of race or creed, is a letter from the Lord. The speakers find Christ in suffering, sickness, and death, from an infant's cry to life's final breath.

Chapters

I heard this word come from you today, and I wonder where will you be found today?
In the healing of a sinner, in the suffering of a saint, every soul that I will meet today is a soul that Christ adores. Every living human It's a letter from the Lord. In the sickness and the suffering, we can find the face of God.
Give me eyes to see the holy ground I'm on, as I walk these halls. I look into these faces, every color, race, and creed. I see the eyes of Jesus staring back at me. Death is all around us, we must choose to see the light. Faith who walks in darkness has to hold fast to the light. I wonder where will you be found today?
Will I see Christ in the suffering? Oh, they see him in me. Every soul that I meet today is a soul that Christ adores. Every living human body meant is a letter from the Lord. In the cities and the southern green, we can find the face of God. Give me eyes to see the holy ground that I'm on as we walk these halls.
From the infant's cry to death's last sigh, we will call this sacred ground.
Give us eyes to see the holy ground we're on.
Give us eyes to see the holy ground we're on.
As we walk these halls.
As we walk these halls.
