Of Dirt and Grace: Live from the Land is the thirteenth live album from Australian contemporary worship music band Hillsong United, a worship band from Hillsong Church. The album was released on 15 July 2016, under Hillsong Music, Sparrow Records and Capitol Christian Music Group. Touted as a "visual album", the record features new arrangements of their fourth studio album, Empires (2015), which were performed live and filmed around various locations in Israel. The album was also released in DVD on 29 July 2016. "Prince of Peace" was released as the album's lead single in July 2016.

Hillsong United previously took inspiration from the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes for their fourth studio album, Empires (2015). The group wanted to film live performances of the song around places in Israel where the aforementioned events took place, as well as other Biblically historical locations. The album features new arrangements of the songs from Empires, as well as two tracks from Zion (2013), "Scandal of Grace" and "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)", and the Hillsong Worship song "I Surrender" from Cornerstone (2012). While Empires featured "EDM pulses" throughout the album, Of Dirt and Grace features the tracks "decelerated into slow and pensive ballads."Of Dirt and Grace: Live from the Land differs from previous Hillsong United albums, due to the visual concept, the abundance of ballads, as well as the prominence of vocalist Taya Smith, who sings in half the album. Several members of the band wrote blog posts on Hillsong's website narrating their experiences while recording and filming the album.
