Heal Our Land

Heal Our Land
(Jacob McGowen)

1st Verse:
The freedom that we have is nearly at its own erasure
As evil men seek to destroy our land
While the temptations of sin
And the authors of confusion
Attack us so it’s hard for us to stand
Oh, there’s a war inside our homes
And there’s a war out in the streets
And there’s a constant fight
Our mortal eyes just can’t see

Pre-Chorus:
And no, it’s not an election
Or a cleansed swamp that we need
But to simply fall down on our knees
And cast our cares onto the God Who Sees

Chorus:
We are called by Your Name
And we’re ready to humble
Ourselves and turn from our ways
Oh, Lord heal our land, we pray!

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

2nd Verse:
Brave men have bled and died
In service to this mighty nation
The faith of many kept it strong and pure
But as the years went by, we turned away
From our Creator and made idols
To cling to, praise, and adore

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, this land, it is in a bind
And we’re caught in a raging sea
And we are unsure as to what
The future, it will soon bring
But if we’ve got breath in our lungs
We can still rise up from defeat
And combat all the lies and deceit
For the Healer has all that we need

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

Bridge:
Freedom isn’t freedom, You bought it!
All that is good comes from You!
Lord, right now, here in this moment
Restore and bring us back to the Truth!

REPEAT CHORUS 2X
