I had seen the Watoto Children's Choir (which we drove past in Kampala!) several times growing up at Bethlehem and Calvin. Therefore, I knew going into this trip that worshiping with the Ugandans would probably be my highlight, I was not disappointed! I love the picture drawn of Heaven that is every tribe and tongue praising Jesus. Every corner of the earth, from Minnesota, to Virginia, to Maryland, to Uganda, all of us will be together in Heaven worshippig together! Singing with the people in Africa gave me just a tiny glimpse of what that joy will be like. I can hardly wait.
Just wanted to share a couple of the songs they taught us and we taught them. Lord-willing I'll go back someday and be prepared with some of their favorites!
There is Worship Today in the House of the Lord
There is worship today in the House of the Lord
there is worship today in the House of the Lord,
there is worship today in the House of the Lord,
Hallelujah today in the House of the Lord!
(Singing)
(Dancing)
(Muzungo!)
(Clapping)
(Sitting...get lower and lower, but not actually sitting)
(Resting...aka laying down!)
I will Sing Hosannah
I will sing Hosannah,
I will sing Hosannah,
Sing along for the sound of glory,
I will sing Hosannah!
(Dance)
(Clap)
(etc...)
Hakuna Wakaita
Similar to the Watoto Choir/BBC version
Hallelujah
You are worthy
You are worthy
You are worthy
You are worthy

(He is holy)
Sanctuary
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true,
With Thanksgiving,
I'll be a living
Sanctuary, for you
Song we taught--
Soon and Very Soon
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, we're going to see the King
(No more dying there, we are going to see the King)
(No more crying there, we are going to see the King)
We are Marching in the Light of God
We are marching in the light of God,
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching in the light of God,
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching, marching, (we are) marching, Lo-oord,
we are marching in the light of God.
We are marching, marching, (we are) marching Lo-oord,
we are marching in the light of God!
(Singing)

Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
