Day 3

This is one of my all time favourite songs and you should listen to it on repeat all day. I loved it lots when I thought the chorus said, “I belong in the kingdom come” -a nice biblical sounding phrase that made me think about how even if things are tough, God’s kingdom will be nice one day. But. I loved it even more when I realized Old Man Luedeke was actually singing, “I’ll belong when the kingdom come”. To hear that longing for belonging as we are, and that deep hope in something more than just another kingdom. To remember that belonging won’t be based on work or productivity but in something other. That wilderness and defeat and unfair weather are real and also, there’s that baby born in Bethlehem and that will change what it means to belong.
