In this Dry Land (하나님께서 당신을 통해)

This is a popular Korean worship song by Korean artist Kim Young Beom (김영범) that is sung in Korean-speaking churches around the world. This song is meant to be sung in community. Often the worship leader may instruct worshippers to join hands, hug one another or look at one another as the song is sung. Think of this song as a corporate prayer: that in a dry land, the love of the Lord would flow from your communities to the poor, thirsty and weak.
