Churchs are relatively rare in Vietnam and many are kind of secretive too since this government of theirs like to control and shut down things that are important to people, you know, like facebook, and gatherings with your family in God… ? I prayed to be able to go to one..and found one close to where I lived in March, the whole service and everything was in Vietnamese and it was honestly a LONG service. I recorded some of the songs we sang, the singing was my favourite part, it was amaaazing ~ loud, joyful and I was glad to be there. Though of course my lovely family isn’t fond of the idea of worshipping anything apart from their little stone Buddhas and images of their dead ancestors (emphasize on the DEAD)… and they say it is *risky* to go to one since the national police supposedly lurks around churches… so that was the first time I went to a church in Vietnam, and the last until now. Hearing so many voices singing of the Lord together was probably the most beautiful thing I witnessed in this country.
The first song is ABOVE ALL in Vietnamese! I was surprised they sing the same stuff we do in English-speaking churches. Here’s the same song in English,

I’m not sure of the name of the second song, and some words I didn’t really understand 🙂
