This song was composed in the wake of various traumas, including the terror attack in New York, drought in Australia, conflict between the Koreas, threat of war in Iraq, and a fatal accident in Canberra on 10 February 2003 in which a 22 year old father lost his 22 year-old pregnant wife but their 7-weeks premature baby girl was safely delivered and their 10mth old boy also survived. (Sadly the baby girl died 8 days later.)

  Recording featuring Alma Caranto from the album Favoured Chick.

Encore sheet music for the melody.

Verse 1

Some nations rise, some nations fall

A miracle birth, yet one deceased

But over all, You are the Lord

Chorus

Though the heavens fall apart

Circumstances break my heart

Em      A              D

I          implicitly trust You

Verse 2

Towers rise to touch the sky

While others fall and we ask why

But over all, You reign on high

No answers to some questions asked

Emotions hide behind a mask

But over all, You hold the truth

Repeat chorus

Great Southern Land
