So Will I - Hillsong United


"On a hill you created, the light of the world abandoned in darkness to die." Yep. I bawled all the way through this video. The lyrics are like an anthem to God!!
 
I LOVE this song and I love this video. It features 5 missionary families that went to Ecuador in the 1950s. The men were martyred by tribal people in their area of outreach. Some of the wives stayed or returned later however, and many in the tribe got saved! All the couples have a great testimony:

For the Sake of the Call
Steven Curtis Chapman


Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure
Was Jesus had called to them
He said "come follow Me" and they came
With reckless abandon, they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge
Told a story that few could believe
And none could explain
How some crazy fisherman agreed to go where Jesus went
With no thought to what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name
And they answered

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
The sake of the call

Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea
There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call, we'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
And because He has called us to go
We will answer

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who called
And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
For the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all​


Elizabeth Elliot wrote many books on her experience in Ecuador and her beautiful relationship with Jim Elliot. But there are also videos and articles on the other couples. I really encourage for you to look them up. Very inspiring, all of them! Their names are listed right in the video.
 
This is my absolute favorite for the last 4 years!

Hope you all get as much as I do from being reminded of these truths...
