"Going Home" by Sara Sundvik

Sweden

An original song by Swedish artist Sara Sundvik.

The ground is crumbling beneath me.

Walls around me falling down.

Nothing's no more as it seems.

Darkness, all I see around.

Water flowing on the pavement.

How's this going with the stream?

The atmosphere is full of sorrow.

People wondering where to go.

But when I lift my eyes.

From all this around I remember.

I remember.

Soon we're going home, with You

To a place we've never been.

Where sorrows are not let in.

Going home, with You.

Where family and friends

will meet up again with you and me.

You and me.

Bullets flying before my eyes.

Explosions as distant sounds.

Where can I find refuge?

I’m breathless, full of fear.

Children looking for their parents.

Finding nothing more than dust.

Anxiety at every level.

And nowhere safe where they can hide.

But when I lift my eyes.

From all this around I remember.

I remember.

Soon we're going home, with You

To a place we've never been.

Where sorrows are not let in.

Going home, with You.

Where family and friends

will meet up again with you and me.

You and me.

Because You Lord, you are my strength.

The rock that I lean on.

The fortress where I hide.

My savior from this earth.

You to deserve all praise and glory there is.

You are God Almighty.

You will bring us home

Soon we're going home, with You

To a place we've never been.

Where sorrows are not let in.

Going home, with You.

Where family and friends

will meet up again with You.

    Tasty Eggs and New Clothes

    In Romania, a kindergarten teacher used her students’ excitement about chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny to introduce them to the true story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. When she invited all 26 families to church, many came—and David and his mother now attend regularly, learning together about the Savior who rose from the tomb.

    The Davis’ Indians - Part 2

    After Ovid Elbert Davis died of blackwater fever in 1911 at Mt. Roraima, the Indigenous believers he had taught in British Guiana continued meeting every Sabbath at his grave, singing the hymn he taught them and pleading for another teacher. Fourteen years later, missionaries finally returned, finding more than 130 people still faithful to the commitment Davis recorded before his death. Today, his legacy lives on through the Davis Memorial Hospital in Georgetown and the thriving Adventist communities that grew from his early work.
