Looking for a good kickoff activity for your next Zoom Bible study or church meeting? Try this: Play this song and ask the group to keep track of how many languages are featured. : ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA96oPEJis4&feature=youtu.be By the way, see if you can post the answer in the comments session so we’ll all know the correct number! : ) (Thanks for bubbling this video up, Chad! Now please heal from Covid!)
2) Can You Count How Many Languages are Represented in This Worship Song?
I counted nineteen (19) languages! Wonderful production!
17 in the song, not including the bit at the beginning before Behold our God starts, so 18 if you include that! Wonderful views of parts of God’s creation, loved seeing the Himalayas.
Many languages; wonderful. But why does it have to be done in the Western genre? Why not with Chinese instruments, and traditional singing, for example? Or why not the beautiful traditional Hindustani worship, devotional (attractive!) sounds of India? Why do people from the nations think that to worship the LORD that they ought to do so in the Western genre?
It is VERY unfortunate that those who promote this sort of thing (like the “Blessing” song) think that they have to do so in the music and mannerism of the West for it to be truly ‘global’.
