Recorded at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh, Ireland.
In June 2001, Hosanna! Music released the praise & worship project Come Heal This Land. The album was recorded live at St. Patrick's Cathedral located in Armagh, Northern Ireland. Said to be the site of St. Patrick's mission in the fifth century, Armagh is considered the "spiritual capitol" of Ireland. It is from here that worship leader Robin Mark led a group of over 600 in worship. The project features traditional praise & worship styles, not uncommon to the Hosanna! label. However, the project is set apart by the subtle Celtic influences and opening "Mulhaires, Traditional Irish Reel," which link the album to Ireland. Lyrically, Mark's songwriting reflects his heartfelt desire to see Ireland healed and united. Songs include "Take Us to the River" and "Everything Cries Holy." ~ Ashleigh Kittle
