Took A Village and Time to Get This Song Together.


PROMISE LAND

I prayed to the LORD to make me strong He lead me straight with a northern star When crossed over, He said I was free My God My God held steady on me

So, I’ll press on until I make it to the promise land I have been up the mountain and back down again Oh, my eyes have see the glory and I heard God’s plan So, I’ll press on until I make it to the promise land

Look over yonder, what do I see? Justice flowing like a mighty stream Listen closely hear the children sing Of Mercy, freedom, and liberty

So, I’ll press on until I make it to the promise land I have been up the mountain and back down again For my eyes have seen the glory and I heard God’s plan I’ll press on until we make it to the promise land


Free at last free at last Thank God almighty we are free at last
Free at last free at last Thank God all might we are free at least

(I will trust in the LORD we will trust)

So, I’ll press on until we make it to the promise land I have been up the mountain and back down again For my eyes have seen the glory and I heard God’s plan I’ll press on until we make it to the promise land

Liz Vice, a Portland native, now residing in New York City, who you will more often find behind a mic or camera on a film shoot, has worked in visual story-telling for over five years, working on various productions including the popular television show, Portlandia; a feature film, The A- List; and experience at the advertising firm, Wieden and Kennedy.  Most recently Vice has been recognized for her musical talent on the local music scene, including a show-stealing opening set recently for St. Paul & the Broken Bones at Wonder Ballroom as part of the Soul’d Out Festival.

Vice’s powerful debut album, There’s a Light on Deeper Well records, was recorded almost entirely live to analog tape during the spring and summer of 2013 in Portland. The album, a gospel-fueled nod to the R&B / soul records of the 60′s and 70′s, is modern enough not to be “throw back,” but classically influenced enough to feel timeless.

Liz Vice is passionate and has overcome many personal obstacles; she credits her adventurous life to not forcing anything and being available. "It's all about risk, and taking risk is never regretful…well, mostly."
