By November 2011, a holiday version of the song premiered with sleigh bells and a chorus singing, as opposed to the solo version of the original. This version was also featured in movie theaters before movies that were targeted to families.

For some time now, Rend Collective (formerly Rend Collective Experiment) has been one of my favorite modern worship bands. Hailing from Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, this folk/indie group came together in a truly organic fashion as a spiritual and musical community. Rend Collective had already written several excellent worship songs before they released their hit album "Campfire" in 2013. Perhaps their most well-known and frequently sung worship song is "Build Your Kingdom Here," which was originally recorded on "Homemade Worship by Handmade People" (2012) before being re-recorded in complete folk fashion on the "Campfire" album.


I am so excited to introduce "Build Your Kingdom Here" to the congregation of First Baptist Church of Farmersville this Sunday, July 5th, 2015. "Build Your Kingdom Here" is a corporate prayer set to an infectious melody with an energetic, driving folk beat. It would be worth listening to in your car and playing on your guitar at home purely for the musical enjoyment. Yet most importantly, the music is paired with incredibly profound, meaningful, and timely lyrics, making it valuable for use in the church's worship.


The song is filled with expressions from Jesus' teaching and parables about the kingdom of God. The chorus itself is derived from the Lord's Prayer, in which Jesus taught the disciples to pray, "Let your kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven" (Matt. 6:10, ESV). Verse two takes Jesus' command in Matthew 6:33 ("Seek first the kingdom of God") and turns it into a declaration of faith ("we seek your kingdom first"). Verse two also says, "To see the captive hearts released; the hurt, the sick, the poor at peace," alluding to Luke 4:18-19, in which Jesus publicly announces his ministry by reading from Isaiah 61. There is also mention of the "kingdom seed," which refers to the parable of the mustard seed (Matt. 13:31-32).


By using these scriptures as the basis for a prayer song, the overarching theme of the song is the advancement of God's reign in Christ through the church. It is clear in the Bible that God's ongoing and ever-increasing reign is fundamentally important. Scripture teaches that God's reign is "already" and "not yet," which creates a tension that is difficult for us to balance and comprehend. Sometimes Christian hymnody has stressed the "not yet" part of God's kingdom through songs about the "sweet by and by" and "going home to Jordan." However, there is a real need to sing about God's present reign, and "Build Your Kingdom Here" is perhaps the best song I can think of addressing that need for the modern church.


One final note about this song is that it has encouraged me to engage in both domestic and international missions. A line in the chorus says, "Win this nation back." Tomorrow we are singing this in church, and I can't imagine a better thought for us on July 4th weekend than that we want to see Christ win our nation for him. Yet I've also heard a church alter the lyrics and sing, "Win the nations back." When I was visiting the Church at Brook Hills on David Platt's penultimate Sunday as pastor, the congregation sang that altered version, and it really struck me as a prayer that is just as important. We want to see Christ win our nation back, and ultimately, we want to see all nations come to him.


Jesus gave the church the mission of expanding his reign on earth until he returns. Christ hasn't returned yet, so the mission is still ongoing. We are to keep asking him to build his kingdom here, and we are to keep reminding each other that we are the hope for the earth because of Christ in us. I hope this song captures our attention and encourages us to pray all the more, "Come set your rule and reign in our hearts again . . . build your kingdom here."


Sanctuary is the opening theme song of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is sung and written by Utada Hikaru. Its Japanese counterpart is called Passion, and it reached #2 in the Oricon Singles Chart in 2006. It is also the second single from This Is the One, released only in Japan (both the Opening and Ending versions), thereby under the name Utada, not Utada Hikaru. However, Sanctuary was not included in the Japanese version of the album (it was on the US as a bonus track [physical release only]).


Both versions of the song contain reversed lyrics, voiced by Utada herself. The reversed lyrics are in English in both versions. They include; "My heart's a battle ground" which is played in English even in the Japanese version of the song. The reversed portion of the songs are "I need more affection than you know"; in the "Battleground" sections, "So many ups and downs" and "I need true emotions" are the two other examples of the reversed lyrics.


In an interview, Utada said, "It's like... as if 'Hikari' was the dawn, and 'Passion' has a concluding or 'dusk' feeling to it. The lyrics of 'Passion' show how phases of the past, present and future of the character in my song relate to each other."


At the end of Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance a different version, called "After the Battle" is used. This version is much quieter for most of the song until the ending part of it, which uses a faster instrumental than the rest of the song.


The opening starts off with Sora talking about scattered dreams and far off memories, saying he wants to "collect the pieces". We then see Kairi making the Wayfinder she gave to Sora on Destiny Islands beach. The tide hides a seashell in the sand, and we see Sora, Riku and Kairi at the palm tree they always hung out at, watching the sunset. Suddenly Kairi and Riku disappear like dust in the wind. Sora doesn't seem to distressed by this, and get determined to do something, jumping off the tree as the world around him disappears.


Suddenly Sora is at Hollow Bastion with Donald and Goofy, Keyblade in hand. He destroys a few Heartless and ascends the stairs where he suddenly finds himself in the Grand Hall, where he sees and unconscious Kairi. He rushes over to her to see if she's okay, but soon realizes that Riku is behind him, wearing his dark armor. Riku is then seen in a similar situation as the first opening, with the wave about to hit him asking Sora to come with him, but Sora rushes to fight him rather than save him. They exchange blows before Riku suddenly turns into Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Sora attacks him, and we transition to Ansem opening the Door to Darkness and getting destroyed, followed by Riku telling Sora to take care of everyone. We then see Sora releasing his heart and saving Kairi.


Kairi sadly stands on Destiny Islands, gazing out into the horizon. She then sees sparkles fall from the sky as the worlds get restored. Sora shouts something to Kairi as he drifts into the Realm of Darkness to rescue Riku. Kairi stares at the hole between realms, and suddenly we cut to a year later. Kairi is still looking out into the horizon, looking distant at first before sadly smiling.


We then cut to Namin in Castle Oblivion. She draws a picture of a spiral staircase, which suddenly becomes real. Sora, Donald and Goofy are seen running up this staircase, destroying Heartless along the way. They are suddenly confronted by a hooded figure and DiZ, before Sora finds himself facing Marluxia. The two fight, and we see Riku fighting Ansem at the same time.


Sora, Donald and Goofy are then seen chasing a Riku up the spiral staircase, we briefly see the real Riku following Mickey on the staircase too, but they are upside down and heading downstairs. Sora finally makes it to the room Namin is in, but she immediately puts him in a Memory Pod. Sora then falls asleep, and is then seen flying back to Destiny Islands, which forms around him. He is last seen holding hands with Riku and Kairi as they lie on the beach.


Suddenly the camera is plunged into the black void from the first opening, as Roxas emerges from Sora like an object slamming into the ocean, and he drifts down into the void similar to how Sora did in the first opening. Roxas eventually lands on something. He tries to look around, but as soon as he takes a step a flock of doves fly out from under him, revealing that he's standing on a mural of Sora.


The opening starts with an organization XIII meeting, with Sax explaining their plan to destroy Heartless to create Kingdom Hearts. We then see the conversation Axel had with Roxas in Twilight Town, about whether or not they have hearts.


We then see a montage of who is in the Organization, followed by the scene of Xemnas giving him his name Roxas and inducting him into the Organization. We then see Roxas seeing Hayner, Pence and Olette enjoying their summer vacation, eating ice cream, followed by Axel eating the same ice cream atop the clock tower for the first time, although Axel doesn't seem to like the taste.
