Heal Our Land

Heal Our Land Music Video Backstory:

In the spring of 2020, in the throws of the pandemic and racial divide, four men from Birmingham, Alabama, two black and two white, met to share their experiences and discuss their hope and vision for our country.

The white men asked their friends to share their experiences as African Americans in our country. The discussion was frank, at times difficult, but rich, enlightening and hopeful.

Shortly after the meeting, one of the men received an inspiration from the Lord for a song about healing our land, which he shared with the others, and resulted in the composition and recording of this song, Heal Our Land.

Marc Phillips donated his time and skill in the audio production of the song in his studio in Birmingham. He said it was Kingdom Work—a gift from Christ. It was his last project—completed shortly before he contracted, battled, and succumbed to the COVID-19 virus.

This song, Heal Our Land, and the accompanying music video are being lifted up as an offering to the Lord our God, in the name of Jesus, to His glory, and for the healing of our land and the blessing of its people, of every color, race and origin.

Lyrics

EVERYBODY OUGHT TO HAVE A PLAN, FOR THE HEALING OF OUR LAND; EVERY WOMAN EVERY MAN, FOR THE HEALING OF OUR LAND.

WHAT CAN YOU DO, TO MAKE ANOTHERONE’S DREAM COME TRUE; OH WHAT WILL YOU DO, TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE?

EVERYBODY OUGHT TO HAVE A PLAN, FOR THE HEALING OF OUR LAND.

WELL THERE’S A PLAN FROM LONG AGO, EVERYBODY REALLY OUGHT TO KNOW,

FOR THE ONE WHO MADE THIS PLAN, IS THE ONE WHO MADE OUR LAND.

IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME; WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY;

AND IF THEY WILL SEEK MY FACE; AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS;  

THEN I WILL HEAR THEIR CRY; AND I WILL STRETCH FORTH MY HAND;

I WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN; AND I WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.

OH AND HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO;

I’LL SHOW YOU HEARTS THAT ARE TORN; THEY ARE BROKEN IN TWO;

I’LL SHOW YOU SOULS THAT ARE LOST; THEY DON’T KNOW THE TRUTH;

AND YOU WILL BE MY FEET AND HANDS;

TO MEND THEIR HEARTS; SAVE THEIR SOULS; AND I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND.

COME LORD; DRAW NEAR LORD; WE NEED YOU LORD; YOUR HEALING HAND;

WE CONFESS; OUR WAYWARDNESS; WE TURN OUR HEARTS TO YOU; WE SEEK YOUR FACE;

SHOW US LORD; HOW TO LOVE; AND HELP US LORD; TO FORGIVE;

YOU SENT YOUR SON; THE HOLY ONE; TO SEEK THE LOST; AND TO SAVE;

HE GAVE HIS LIFE; TO TAKE OUR PLACE; AND BY HIS WOUNDS; WE ARE HEALED;

HELP US LORD; HEAL OUR LAND;

WE WILL TRUST YOU LORD; HEAL OUR LAND;

WE LOVE YOU LORD; HEAL OUR LAND.
