The Hmong District of the Christian Missionary Alliance asked Daniel to write the theme song for their 40th Anniversary celebration happening May 26-27, 2018 in St. Paul, MN.
Daniel was able to collaborate with his friends Fisherman’s Project and this is what they created together. Enjoy and share it out!
40 XYOO DLHAU LUG
Ib txheeb xyoo huv qaab ntuj
Peb nyob rua kev tsaus ntuj
Puas muaj kev cawm, puas muaj kev cawm?
Haivneeg tsis muaj zeem muag
Kev xaav zoo le tug ntsuag
Tsis pum tom ntej, tsis pum tom ntej
Tabsi Yexus cov ntshaav, muab peb yug dlua tshab
Zoo le tug pluj rov lug tsev
Nwg nuav peb muaj Leejtxiv, nwg nuav peb muaj homphaj
Nwg nuav peb tau Koj lub npe
(CHORUS)
Siv peb haiv Hmoob ua Koj teg num
Xaa Txujmoo Zoo rua thoob qaab ntuj
Txug peb sijhawm, txug peb sijhawm
Vaaj Ntsujplig xaa dlej naag lug yug
Peb yuav tsis nkim Koj txujkev hlub
Txug peb sijhawm, txug peb sijhawm
Peb yuav tau moog
Zoo le tuab ntsais muag xwb
Ib phaum twb dlhau zuj zus
Moog txais nqe zug, moog txais nqe zug
Tabsi Yexus lub suab, yuav hu peb cov menyuam
Zoo le cov pluj rov lug tsev
Nwg nuav puab muaj Leejtxiv, nwg nuav puab muaj homphaj
Nwg nuav puab rig Koj lub npe

Siv peb cov hluas cov laug
Txug peb lub sijhawm
Vaajtswv coj peb
40 YEARS AGO
Thousands of years we lived in darkness
Here in this world
Who can rescue us, who can rescue us?
A nation without a vision
We thought like orphans
We didn’t see a future, we didn’t see a future
But the blood of Jesus gave us a new birth
Like the lost one coming home
Now we have a Father, now we have a purpose
Now we have Your name
(Chorus)
Use your Hmong people for your mission
Sending the Gospel all over the world
This is our time, This is our time
Holy Spirit send down your rain
We won’t let it got to waste
This is our time, This is our time
Now let us go!
It seems like with the blink of an eye
A generation is passing away
To receive their reward, to receive their reward
Still the voice of Jesus today is calling our children
Like the lost ones coming home
And now they have a Father, now they have a purpose
Now they bear Your name
(Bridge)
40 years ago
God lead us out
Out of the desert
God is leading us now
Out of suffering
Out of war
Out of darkness
God is leading us now
40 years ago
God lead us out
Out of the desert
God is leading us now
Use our sons and daughters
Use our young and old
This is our time
God is leading us now
