| Imagine
coming to the Holy Land and singing your favorite
hymns and spirituals at the sites commemorating
Jesus’ ministry, passion, crucifixion and
resurrection. Would you like to solo on the
stage of the 2,000-year-old Roman Theater at
Caesarea? Or experience singing “Amazing
Grace” in the Upper Room” or “Hallelujah” at
Jerusalem’s St. Anne Church, with its astounding
11-second echo? |

Throughout the Holy Land our bus resonates with
spirited singing. Here are just a few of many
possibilities:
|
- “Down By the Riverside” after a renewal of
baptism vows in the
River
Jordan
- “Joshua Fit the Battle of
Jericho” en route to
the oldest city in the world
- “Rise and Shine” after a rainy day
- “Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones” after
visiting Masada where fragments of Ezekiel chapter
37 were found
- “When the Spirit of the Lord is in my Heart”
after visiting the
Valley of Elah where
David killed Goliath
- “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” opposite Jericho,
where Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot of
fire
- On the
Jericho Road there's
room for just two
- “Man from Galilee” as we sail the Sea of
Galilee
- “Zacceus was a Wee Little Man” by a sycamore
tree in Jericho
- All the Christmas carols we can remember on
the way to
Bethlehem
