We Australians are such a blessed people, I love our nation – it is so beautiful. God gave us so much to be thankful for, so much to love and be grateful for the lifestyle and freedom that is for all of us to share in this magnificent country. God bless Australia and all who call her ‘home’. The Great Southland of the Holy Spirit, written by one of Australia’s most beautiful praise and worship songwriters, Geoff Bullock. This rendition is by Steve Grace as featured on the CD ‘Australia Worships – The Great Southland’. Released 10 July 1992 by Maranatha Music. Absolutely no infringement intended, all rights belong to their rightful owners. This song also features on the Hillsong album “The Power of Your Love” also released in 1992. ———- Verse 1: This is our nation, this is our land, This is our future, this is our hope. A land of reaping, a land of harvest, This is our land, this is our home. Chorus: This is the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit, A land of red dust plains and summer rains, To this sun-burnt land we will see a flood, And to this Great Southland His Spirit comes. Verse 2: This is our nation, this is our land, This land of plenty, this land of hope. The richest harvest is in her peoples, We see revival, His Spirit comes. [to chorus] Verse 3: This is our nation, this is our land, This lucky country, of dreams gone dry, And to these people we see a harvest, And to this land, revival comes. [to chorus]

I worked on a Bill Newman Crusade in Sydney and Steve Grace was our headliner for the friday night youth gig! at the end of that gig the cops turned up saying all the kids stopped here and never went to the Cronulla nightclubs! I said to the cops they stepped in to hear Steve Grace got a feed and filled with the holy spirit……..would you like a cd?
AMEN
I like this song. Heard Steve sing it at Cairns (Edge Hill school) this year. GOD bless his heart and Ministry. GOD gets all glory.
I can tend to be emotional at times, but for a Youtube clip to bring me close to tears, is quite remarkable. What brilliant photography to remind us how much God blesses us every single day of our lives.
I agree!!!
Great job! The Lord Is Smiling on you. God Bless. Please check out my missionary training video. It’s awesome.
I live this song as we sang it on ANZAC Day!! Truly beautiful!
Shiver me timbers, Australia for Jesus
God bless all my Christian brothers and sisters
Our National Anthem!
As an Australian I would like to wish all Australians. HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTRALIA!! 224 YEARS OLD!!
May not be a Christmas song, still good for all year round to remember who this land really belongs to.
Praise God, the Lord bless you and keep you all and cause His face to shine upon you
