You are standing on holy ground

Greetings:
There is a praise and worship song - “You are Standing on Holy Ground.” - that I just love to sing, listen to and just mediate on what it says and means.
There is one phrase in the song which is repeated again and again and goes like this. “You are standing on Holy Ground and there are angels all around.”
I did some checking on the Internet and the words 'Holy Ground' only appears in the Bible twice. 
Once in Exodus 3:5 when God appears to Moses in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush.  As Moses approaches the burning bush God called out to him and said, “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.”
God was saying where I am is Holy Ground. 
The only other time this phrase appears is in the book of Acts 7:33 when it is making reference to Moses and the Burning Bush.
The words to the song are beautiful and full of deep meaning to me. There are songs that individually speak to us, minister to us and comfort us. This song is one of those for me.
Listen to the linked song by Sandi Patti and realize the bottom line is, if you and I are children of God, every place we go we are standing on Holy Ground for God is in us and there are angels all around us for protection and listening for the voice of His Word.
Be blessed.
