Song Lyrics
Healing Earth, Healing Us
Verse 1:
In Your hands, the world was shaped,
With love and care, its beauty draped.
Yet, we’ve worn it thin, our greed has scarred,
Hear our plea, for we’ve marred.
Chorus:
Heal our Earth, heal our kin,
In Your mercy, let new life begin.
Where we’ve broken, where we’ve torn,
Bring forth healing, let love be reborn.
Verse 2:
Fields once green, now bear the strain,
Skies that cry, the acid rain.
Yet in this hurt, a hope we see,
In Your promise, set us free.
Chorus:
Heal our Earth, heal our kin,
In Your mercy, let new life begin.
Where we’ve broken, where we’ve torn,
Bring forth healing, let love be reborn.
Bridge:
For every stream polluted, every forest bare,
Lord, we seek Your healing care.
In our stewardship, let us find Your grace,
In every corner, show Your face.
Chorus:
Heal our Earth, heal our kin,
In Your mercy, let new life begin.
Where we’ve broken, where we’ve torn,
Bring forth healing, let love be reborn.
Outro (Prayerful Promise):
In the whisper of the wind, in the ocean’s deep,
In Your love, a covenant we keep.
Healing Earth, healing us,
In Your hands, in You, we trust.
Intercede for the cleansing of polluted lands and hearts, and ask God to restore wholeness to His creation. May your spirit and your soil be healed together, and may restoration flow from your hands into the land you walk upon.Spiritual Engagement
