Artist bio

Cynthia Townsend is an educator and entrepreneur. I love the Trinity, my children, learning, teaching and traveling. I have been teaching for over 20 years from K-collegiate. Teaching demands creativity, thus through teaching and positions I have held in the past I have had opportunity to develop my creativity as a way of serving others. As an business owner, I enjoy seeing others creativity and helping them showcase and/or further develop their own creativity. Moritz Kellerman has been painting abstracts since he was a boy. He studied at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. His work has been in numerous gallery and museum shows. He currently is a professor of art that still enjoys the exploration of color and the glazing process that is essential to abstract painting. He also enjoys helping students to develop their own skills and sense of exploration. Phil The VIB3S (Philander Wade) fell in love with music at a young age and decided to pursue it in all aspects. He dances, sing and produces music and video. He recently started a Christian based company that offers multiple types of media entertainment and services. They provide DJ services, music production, photography, video, graphics and web design.

Artist Statement

I have written unpublished song lyrics in the past. Since I am not a musician, I have not always been able to move beyond words on the paper. When God gave me this song, I felt it had to be released to the earth, an anthem to declare over COVID-19. Moving the song from Holy Spirit inspired journal entries, to several rough recordings, to a professional recording and than to video that I put together, was quite the process for a novice. It involved God making divine connections for me to see the process through.

The video itself is based on the fact that in all things, God has a remedy and that in everything released in the earth realm, it is proceeded by God's spoken word. Someone, somewhere praying, speaking and often singing His word over situations, to see change.

Music has exponential word releasing power. We must declare a cure for COVID-19.

How it fits into contest

Though aspects of Ephesians 6:10-20 speaks of physical armor, we know that all things physical, start in the spiritual realm. The foundation of the spiritual realm is God's word. Therefore every piece of the armor described in those verses can only be worn and engaged in through engagement with His word. In that same truth, the cure for COVID-19 can only be found in His word, in engaging His word over it, by praying His word and speaking (or singing) His word over it.

Transcript / Lyrics

Oh Lord, hear our cry
Oh Lord, hear our cry
Hear our cry, hear our cry
Hear our cry, hear our cry

From the depths of the earth
We will cry unto Thee
From the depths of the earth
We will cry unto Thee

Oh Lord, hear our cry

The earth trembles
And the cry is heard
From among the nations
A cry is heard
Joblessness, anxiety, loneliness, fear and death
Oh Lord, hear our cry

Oh Lord, hear our cry
Oh Lord, hear our cry
Hear our cry, hear our cry

From the depths of the earth
We will cry unto thee
From the depths of the earth
We will cry unto thee

Oh Lord, hear our cry

The earth trembles
You hear their cry
Your blood covers all
It answers when we call
Provider, peace, comforter, faith, and health

Oh lord, hear our cry
Oh lord, hear our cry
Hear our cry, hear our cry
Hear our cry, hear our cry

‘Hear our cry’ is song repeatedly in the background
COVID-19 when they named you
They give you a crown
But by the almighty
You will be knocked down
Corona, corona you are not king
Corona, corona you are not king
With our voices we will sing
In unity we will proclaim
Lifting up Jesus’ name
Because He’s the Everlasting
He’s the True King
COVID-19 you’re coming to a halt
The Lord is the one we will exalt
His blood defeated you
We are forgiven of inequity
Healed from diseases
Redeemed from destruction
COVID-19 you are not our crown
The blood’s crown is lovingkindness
And tender mercy
He’s always near
Oh yes, the earth cries
Oh yes, the earth cries
He has heard
And He will answer
Mightily, speedily
The earth has called unto Me
He will answer
And I’m with them in trouble
I will deliver
To show the earth
My salvation
Hear our cry Lord, hear our cry

Behold
Behold
Behold
Behold

I bring health and I bring cure
I bring health and I bring cure

Behold
Behold
Behold
Behold

I will cure and I will reveal
The abundance of peace, the abundance of truth
I will heal and I will reveal
The abundance of peace, the abundance of truth

Behold
Behold
Behold
Behold

I bring health and I bring cure
I bring health and I bring cure
