The Calvary Echoes4 just returned from a weekend at the Grand Palace, Branson, Missouri, with Revival Fires, Cecil Todd's Ministry. On stage were Chonda Pierce and Alan Keyes when the Calvary Echoes4 performed their new single radio release, Heal this Land . The response was symbolic of the way in which the song is being received nationwide. The Calvary Echoes4 agency is receiving letters and email from all across the country.
Some stations have the song in light rotation, and others are running it in heavy rotation.
Heal this Land has its origin in the Repentance Prayer given by Rev. Joe Wright, pastor of Central Christian Church in Wichita, Kansas, for the opening of the Kansas State Legislature January 23,1996. Quartet member Lynn McBride wrote the song. The first, Exodus, chapter 3, tells of a dialogue between Moses and God in which Moses tells God that Pharoah will not free the people of Israel from their bondage. The song begins with a humble tone, builds to the Repentance Prayer and ends with a powerful crescendo. The full orchestra adds dynamics of unequaled proportions.
