So the new subject for December is here and its on the global church

Its such a big subject but after a lot of work I settled on the idea of many peoples, tribes and tongues from Revelation 7: v9

“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.”

The initial words and tune came quite quickly, but I found myself straying into tunes that sounded familiar and it took about 4 or 5 tries to find one that I was happy with and I felt was my own work.

I submitted the song and got some good feedback and worked again on the lyrics. They probably need a bit more polish, but I don’t think they will change dramatically, so I felt safe making a demo and here it is.

All Around the World

Verse

We are a church of many nations
Diffr’nt peoples, tribes, and tongues
Some are local some have travelled
To this place that we call home
We have come in expectation.
We have come to praise the Lord
Like brothers our and our sisters all around the world.

Verse

In every land in every country
Every corner of the world
Saints are gathering, some in secret
Some in prison, some are free
They have come in expectation.
They have come to praise you Lord
Joining with God’s children, all around the world.

Verse

When at last we all will see Him
In the new Jerusalem
Pure and spotless without blemish
The Bride of Christ will be revealed
Blessed are those invited to the wedding of the Lamb
They will come from every nation, every people, tribe, and tongue.
