Far From the Border (But Not from Home)

Lyrics

5f:T549,Title: Far From the Border (But Not from Him)
Scripture: Joel 3:6

[Verse – Solo]
They shipped us out, far from our home,
Names got changed, left us all alone.
“The children of Judah, children of J’lem
sold to the Grecians” — that’s really us then.
Far from the border, far from our land,
But He still got Judah in the palm of His hand.
They took our gold, took the crown off our head,
But they couldn’t take the covenant the Father said.

[Pre-Chorus – Choir]
Scattered, but we ain’t erased,
Stolen, but we still His race.
Sold out, but the Book proves,
He marked Jacob—can’t lose.

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
Far from the border, but not from His eyes,
Judah still chosen, that’s why we rise.
They sold our people, but they can’t own our soul,
Prophecy talkin’, now the truth unfold.
We were shipped out, stripped down, world got cold,
But He’s bringin’ us back like the prophets told.

[Bridge – Call & Response]
Leader: They took our stuff, took our name off the map,
Choir: But the Most High still gon’ bring us back.
Leader: From David to Solomon, Ezra to now,
Choir: Same bloodline, He remember His vow.

[Vamp – Chant]
Sold, but not forgotten,
Scattered, but not lost.
Judah, wake up, we still important,
He paid that cost.

Far from the border, but close to His heart,
He wrote our story from the very start.
