What If Building Zion Starts With How I See Others? - Come Follow Me - Moses 7 | Still Learning

Before Zion can exist as a place, it has to exist as a way of seeing. In this episode, Gunnar and Rebecca reflect on blind spots, personal growth, and the quiet ways judgment creeps into faith. If Zion is defined by purity of heart, what does that demand of us individually? This conversation invites listeners to consider that building Zion may begin not with changing the world—but with changing how we look at the people in it.

Sing for Zion

by Rebecca Burnham

Unity's not a single note

Bursting forth from a million throats

Nor a melody sung in unison

By a monochrome multitude

It's a glorious refrain in Jesus's name

Interweaving stories of grace and glory

In tones of gratitude

So bring Your uniqueness, your challenging tale

And sing Of His goodness of love that can't fail

And fling All your fear of rejection far, far away.

I need your perspective to balance my own

'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone.

So sing out your story for Zion, let's build her today.

I tend to gather with folks like me

More comfortable when we agree.

A similar life reduces strife

Assures me I'm okay.

But if I would know God

Gonna need to walk

In the too-tight shoes

Of those, abused,

I judged and turned away.

So bring Your uniqueness, your challenging tale

And sing Of His goodness, of love that can't fail

And fling All your fear of rejection far, far away.

I need your perspective to balance my own

'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone.

So sing out your story for Zion, let's build her today.

Let's never fear we don't belong.

The broken paths we've walked along

Have skinned our knees and bruised our very soul.

But Oh, the wonder of the grace

That found us in our darkest space.

Transformed, We testify He makes us whole.

So bring your uniqueness, your challenging tale

And sing of His goodness of love that can't fail

And fling all your fear of rejection far, far away.

I need your perspective to balance my own

'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone.

So sing out your story for Zion, we'll build her today.

We'll sing out our story for Zion. And in Zion stay.
