The Gray Havens - Far Kingdom

[@NonNobisDomine14]

I want this played at my funeral.

[@sb4040]

Hear, hear!

[@kundaimpame6483]

Same here, bud, same here...to have my soul sung to Yonder Land

[@CogginsChurch]

Just told my wife this recently!

[@ethanh6370]

That is a great idea.

[@lisasherman6134]

Same ❤

[@thewindmillslayer]

This is heavenly. As a young dad and full time missionary with my wife and kids in South Africa, (often feeling like my efforts do little and often no one notices) the line "a far Kingdom ...where they KNOW MY NAME" hit deep in my soul and I started crying. Thank you the reminder and encouragement. Jesus is faithful and the Kingdom awaits us!

[@bloomthyself]

Owowowow this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. May God bless you and your beautiful family! What an inspiration ♥️

[@thewindmillslayer]

@@bloomthyself thank you! He truly has and does. Shoulder to shoulder we walk on towards that not-so-far Kingdom

[@sohpriest]

I'm a pastor, and that same line made me cry as well.

[@Growingingrace2]

He knows your name.. 🙌 He sees you, He is with you.

A couple of years ago, I sat down and did a study of Revelation 22. It became a great source of peace and comfort to me. Then I discovered this song. Do yourself a favor: read the beginning of Revelation 22, slowly and deliberately. Realize that this promise is a real thing. Then get rid of any distractions, put in some headphones, sit, and listen to this with your eyes closed. When you can start glimpsing even a little bit of this vision, and realize that this is what's waiting for us, it can truly overwhelm your soul. Keep up the great work, Dave and Licia. God is using your music to refresh the souls of believers. Your music means a lot!!!

[@StephdeIcaza]

I 100% agree with you!!

[@MrAwesomeSauce777]

That was so powerful!

[@mikeyseo]

I, even I, have seen Heaven , the Kingdom of God, before. This is our testimony. Lo, a vision came to me in the night when my dream was sweet unto me. And the Lord said “before I fashioned you in the womb I knew you. U are fearfully and wonderfully made. No weapon formed shall prosper against you. And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” And said I, “ah, my Lord, I cannot speak. I am but a babe.” And he said unto me “ say NoT that you are a babe, but speak these things unto them that I will show unto thee.” And the heavens were rolled away as if they were a scroll. And I was cast into outer darkness. And I could hear evil voices from all directions. “Jesus is a lie.” They whispered. Suddenly , I was lifted up. And taken to a new place, where they glorified the host of heaven, “Hallelujah , glory to the almighty King in Heaven for He is Righteous and Everlasting! And He has prepared an inheritance for his people, he is faithful and true,” they sang. . And it was as the sound of many waters and rolling thunders. And I saw all things that were, that are, and that will be. And in the silence without speech…I saw a multitude , hundreds of thousands gathered before the most high giving praise. And as I heard, I understood. All of their voices were as the sound of trumpets, yet as I heard, I understood all that they declared unto me. And after all these things, then I , Michael, saw a new heaven and a new earth. There was no death. For all things were made new and the former things were passed away. There was no sun. And there was no sea. But the light of God was the light and life to all things. He that lives by the sword dies by the sword. He that takes into captivity goes into captivity. Here is the wisdom and the patience of the saints

[@bryantlash6035]

I hear this song whenever I remember Romans 12: 12. There is a reason we can rejoice, be patient, and why we are in prayer.

[@ibotah]

My College pastor told me about this song and I absolutely love it! Also, my dad recently passed away and as I miss him I can't help but think of seeing him again and seeing the glory of God! What a beautiful song that brings about the most beautiful picture ever! Love you guys :)

[@krystofdostal7208]

I wonder that you dont have millions of followers because this music is one of the best i ever heard

[@miikeyt3277]

@@IdeasAnimation because they don't belong to the world and I believe those who listen to their musics are led by God.. God knows their needs.

[@jeremiahragira8311]

I agree. I can't believe I am just discovering this. This is so beautiful wow. Can not wait to listen to their whole album!!

[@gladisgamez9386]

It’s 2021 and I was wondering the same thing

[@ethanh6370]

I agree. They are my favorite band. Whenever I find anyone with similar tastes, Christian or not, I suggest the Gray Havens.

[@JohnRaffertyonline]

your love for Tolkien and Lewis is obvious in every note you write. They would be such huge fans of your work. In their stead, I say, Amazing job!!

[@StephdeIcaza]

It's so true! The first time I heard this song it gave me the same feel the Chronicles of Narnia books do! It's full of that "indescribable longing" Lewis wrote so much about.

[@Goldtaker23]

Yea it reminds me of the tone the songs in LOTR and Hobbit have

[@allisonlucas018]

Yes! I agree. It reminds me of the finale of the Narnia movies where they see a hint of the far kingdom beyond the sea.

[@kelseybogus7354]

[@jeffschulz6733]

Every once in a while you run into a song that just GRABS you.

[@tylerborntraeger9447]

Dude ALL of their songs grab me. Check em out on spotify!!

[@philiphooks8657]

The Lord uses your music to get me through the days lately, especially in those long silent alone moments. May He keep inspiring you.

[@timtherrien7843]

I see Aslan's Country where the Emperor Across the Sea waits for me!

[@wandertree]

❤

[@amandakylemyers2457]

This is by far my favorite song right now. It is such a blessing, especially in a time like the present, as COVID19 is prevalent. It reminds me that our true home, the true Kingdom to which we belong, is waiting for us. In this Kingdom there will be no sickness and no isolation. But freedom that our earthly minds can only but begin to fathom. Thank you for this beautiful and wonderful song. 💖

[@billlamm4688]

This song, prayer, proclomation always brings my spirit to attention.. God Bliss you this day and every day

[@truthfreed7]

Simply beautiful. I long for the day when His kingdom comes.

[@kochcj1]

Could there be a more incredible band this side of the Far Kingdom? I think not.

[@bibleventures]

And what a blessing we have in His promise of that kingdom.

[@tromBONEman77w]

That drummer knows what's up.

[@sb4040]

Yes. A far Kingdom. Blessed are the meek.

[@nathanbasurto8246]

yes, he does

[@colejenkins6504]

A church camp in Indiana will be using this for campfire worship. This is so good

[@StephdeIcaza]

This song has made me cry for joy!

[@micahjohnson4523]

Great job to all, but can we just say that the person filming this did a great job also! God bless!

[@GeneralDioxide]

Man! Talk about a diamond in the rough. These guys don't even have their own wikipedia page. Let it be known that I don't like music, or small production music, "Just cause." It has to impress me, and I am impressed. Great lyrics, great vocals, and I love the little touches. Even the production's good! I'll definitely check out more of your stuff, just know you made a fan.

[@josephmartinlowsky4178]

Please write more songs like this one. Listening to this my heart called me toward home with longing.

[@jerrynowicki1349]

Love this song!!! You both have amazing voices and harmony. Great lyrics too

[@christiancanas1365]

Can't wait! Reminds me of the end of the last book of Narnia

[@fireinmybones86]

I loved this song so much, I used it as the intro for the video of adopting our son from China.

[@VTPPGLVR]

My coworker asked me if I heard of y’all and before “yes” or “no” I yelled “I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!!!”

[@mustacheglasses5765]

Such an encouraging song. I don't know why but I think of E.M. Bounds' writings on desire in prayer as I hear it.

[@homo_esperans]

How can people even start a war when there is a far, far Kingdom and you guys who sing such songs. Greetings from our company of Russian and Ukrainian Tolkien fans. Thank you, The Gray Havens. Your songs are a blessing.

You guys are so talented and have amazing vocal chemistry. Ever since i stumbled upon your song "silver" in an independent short film here on KZbin, i had to find out where i could hear more. i found your channel and instantly fell in love. What really did it for me though, was your hour and some change kickstarter concert you did and i realized just how much heart and love goes into writing your lyrics. All of the unique stories you tell with each song are simply captivating. All in all you two are amazing and you should never stop doing what you do. From the bottom of my heart and from the gods above, thank you.

[@jamesryan6307]

The whole song follows the same progression: C-G-D-D/D#-Em-C-G-D There isn't any deviation from this progression, but in the verse where he sings solo, the first half is played with just the bass.

[@rideforrestride]

Thanks for this! =)
