Our Sunrise - BCC Africa Choir

"Our Sunrise" was performed by the BCC Africa choir at Brunstad, Norway. The choir consists of many young people from Brunstad Christian Church (BCC) fellowships in Africa. This song expresses a hopeful future for those who choose to serve Jesus in the light. It also expresses the thankfulness for Brunstad, the main conference centre for Brunstad Christian Church globally. Brunstad is "our Jerusalem and city on a hill" (see Matthew 5:14-16) where God’s word is preached clearly.

Bridge It’s hope It’s life It’s a future, we fight for our Jerusalem , city of light! Chorus (in Sotho) Brunstad o sebaka Se setle ha holo Mo le fatsheng Mo pela metsi Brunstad, du er verdens beste… Verse 3 It’s a gift, received – from heaven For those who chose to serve our King A place to gather for His people Til we meet again with Him Verse 4 When you look across the distance When it feels too far away Know the light will always reach you Next year at Brunstad we will say! Bridge It’s hope It’s life It’s a future , we fight for our Jerusalem , city of light! Bridge (in Swahili) Ni matumaini, Ni maisha Siku zijazo, tunapigana Mji wetu, mwanga o’wetu! Chorus (in Sotho) Brunstad o sebaka Se setle ha holo Mo le fatsheng Mo pela metsi Brunstad, du er verdens beste…
