Mission Song: A new favorite

This song has really grown on us since the first time we heard it.  Each zone stood and sang this song during our meetings last week. Each time I got chills listening to the words and the melody. A missionary wrote it a number of years ago and I believe it is truly inspired. It has a wonderful, inspiring impact on you when you listen to it. This is just a small taste of the music and melody.  I loved it when an Elder could accompany the song. It was also beautiful A'capella.


Lyrics:
There's a land we have all come to, chosen from on high to serve with our Lord's guidance leaving all behind. Giving light to those who never knew the way. Bringing gifts restored in latter days.

Chorus:
We've been called to build the Kingdom in Johannesburg. We will serve the Lord with strength, love and faith. We shall go forth proclaiming with the Spirit of truth 'til all people learn the things we know are true.

Tumelo hunya kitebe, remember what we have. Hlanganani nonce in this land our banner stands. Giving light to those who never knew the way. Bringing gifts restored in latter days.

Chorus:
We've been called to build the Kingdom in Johannesburg. We will serve the Lord with strength, love and faith. We shall go forth proclaiming with the Spirit of truth 'til all people learn the things we know are true.

In this land of many colors with its transcendent past, uniting all God's children with the plan of happiness. Giving light to those who never knew the way. Bringing gifts restored in latter days.

Chorus:
We've been called to build the Kingdom in Johannesburg. We will serve the Lord with strength, love and faith. We shall go forth proclaiming with the Spirit of truth 'til all people learn the things we know are true.
