Hands On This Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Red barns wake in the dawn Flags on the porch still strong Cornrows cut through the clay Kids run free in the hay Old men bow at the bench Say grace with a steady breath Black coffee, open hands Thank You for this land [Pre-Chorus] Through hard years and rain You carried us again When we were weak and worn You kept this country warm [Chorus] Thank You for this nation Thank You for this home (Thank You) For every road we traveled And every seed we sown (Thank You) Your mercy on our table Your favor in our years God, bless the land we love And keep us here [Verse 2] Steel mills, schoolhouse bells Faded names on the wall Moms on the front porch swing Praying through it all Snow on the silo roof Fire in the winter night We’re still here standing tall By Your guiding light [Pre-Chorus] Through hard years and rain You carried us again When we were weak and worn You kept this country warm [Chorus] Thank You for this nation Thank You for this home (Thank You) For every road we traveled And every seed we sown (Thank You) Your mercy on our table Your favor in our years God, bless the land we love And keep us here [Bridge] From sea to shining shore To the back roads we know When storms roll through the field You make fresh mercy grow So teach our hands to serve And our hearts to stand Grateful for Your grace On this promised land [Chorus] Thank You for this nation Thank You for this home (Thank You) For every road we traveled And every seed we sown (Thank You) Your mercy on our table Your favor in our years God, bless the land we love And keep us here [Outro] Thank You for this nation Thank You for this home (Thank You)
