Family Activity:
Look up the lyrics to a worship song in two languages different from the one you speak (or use the lyrics below). Learn a verse of the song in all three languages (your native language as well as two additional languages). Divide your family into three groups. Give each group lyrics in a different language. Take turns singing a verse in each language.
English:
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
Spanish:
Cristo me ama, (cree-stoh may ah-mah)
Cristo me ama,
Cristo me ama,
La biblia dice asi. (lah bee-blee-ah dee-say ah-see)
Swahili:
Yesu anipenda, (yay-soo ah-nee-pen-dah)
Yesu anipenda,
Yesu anipenda,
Biblia yasema. (bee-blee-ah yah-say-mah)
Discuss:
- Read Revelation 5:9. Who are they singing about in this verse? What does it say about God’s global story?
- In Revelation 7:9 we see a picture of what heaven will be like. What do you think worship will look like in heaven?
Pray:
Pray for someone that speaks a different language than you. Pray that someone would share about Jesus with them.
