Lyrics

Many years ago, Before the west was won
A people lived in peace, and worshiped God and his Son.
They loved one another, and lived the Golden Rule				
To do unto others As you’d have done unto you
 
They were pushed by their enemies from place to place
Living like refugees, by God’s holy grace
Till one day their leader said, “ To the west we’ll set our face”
And when they reached the promised land, he said, “This is the place”

Now the trek was hard, as they traveled through mud and ice
Armed with faith and hope In Jesus Christ
They walked a thousand miles, through mountains, deserts and streams
Led by a prophet of God, to a place he saw in his dreams

They were pushed by their enemies from place to place
Living like refugees, by God’s holy grace
Till one day their leader said, “ To the west we’ll set our face”
And when they reached the promised land, he said, “This is the place”
     
And all along the trail many tears were shed
As they came together to pray and bury their dead
But they knew that the Lord was with them, and mighty to save 
And there was a place prepared for them beyond the grave
				
Now the day has come and the tracks have been laid
And the west has been won By the sacrifices made
And when we reached the promised land, we said, “This is the Place”
