This is the official songbook of Oral Roberts’s “Healing Campaign.” Granville Oral Roberts (1918–2009) was an American Methodist-Pentecostal minister in the mid-twentieth century. In 1947, Roberts claimed to have had an encounter with God, who directed him to heal the sick. He left the Pentecostal Holiness Church and founded Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association (OREA) and Healing Waters ministry. Roberts traveled across the United States and around the world, claiming to heal the sick and even raise the dead. His Healing Campaigns became incredibly popular among American evangelicals.

Published in 1949 by the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Privately purchased in 2020 by Ted Steinbock, private collector, Louisville, Kentucky; Privately purchased in 2020 by Museum of the Bible, Washington, DC.
