June 19, 2024 … this song, this tune, this video just lit up! It stayed in my mind … the song, the tune, the video through the night and still there the next morning! It reminded me of how (over five decades ago) I used to have music running in my head all day long… I used to walk to the beat of the music during the day!

What struck me is how well done the Flash Mob was. It was not simply dance moves. It was more like a performance (and even the video itself got into the act showing the world upside down at one point). Then it struck me (again) that the video came from a former USSR state (now the country of Georgia). Wonderful to see it coming from there.

Then I looked to see if others had also done Flash Mobs for the tune … and YES! There were more… from places that I might not have expected (and none that I found from the USA).

Here is the first one that I found (actually, IT found ME):

The same video is viewable from two other sources: Wolarmenia and Journey of the Heart

Next is the first Christian flash mob in Kuwait:

Two other people recorded a video of it as well: Shibin Mathew and Sibis 1983

Next … from India:

And again from India:

And one more from India:

And then from the Philippines:

And one more from the Phillipines:

And yet one more from the Philippines:

And still one more from Philippines:

And also from Agentina:

And kids fun from Sweden:

And then from Italy:

And a performance from Indonesia:

Performance of the short version from France:

Now, a performance from Viet Nam:

Next … another flash mob by Vietnamese (two songs … second is Rise Up):

And another from Kuwait … a medley of several songs, queued at the right spot:

A different set of dance moves from the Philippines:

Flash Mob LYRICS and Choreography notes:

Oh oh oh oh oh oh…

We’ve been deceived I would be seeing on a TV,
The lights, cameras, the actions and smoked screens
But the truth that lies underneath,
Is opposed in the guy that we say we need
Don’t be so easily misguided
By the clever schemes in disguises
Look a little deeper and you will discover: affection of another;
Jesus is a keeper

Chorus:
Jesus show us the way that leads to You
Don’t wanna stray, lead us to Truth

In the society we ‘re plagued with confusion,
The face value is only an illusion
But the knowledge of reality is delusion,
Help me form my ultimate conclusion
No more following and listening to what they say (NO!)
They’re nothing in authority anyway
Look a little deeper and you will discover affection of another
Jesus is a keeper

Chorus:
Jesus show us the way that leads to You
Don’t wanna stray (oh oh ohh), lead us to Truth
Show us the way that leads us to You
Don’t wanna stray (don’t want to go astray), lead us to Truth

Oh oh oh oh ohhh…
Only need the truth, Oh oh ohh,
Only need You. Oh oh ohh…
Only need the truth, Oh oh ohh
Only need You.

Chorus:
Jesus show us the way that leads to You [2 seconds upside down video]
Don’t wanna stray (oh oh ohh), lead us to Truth
Show us the way that leads us to You
Don’t wanna stray (don’t want to go astray), lead us to Truth

Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh…
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh…
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh…
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh… Only need the truth
Go go go go go… Only need the truth
Go go go go go…
Oh oh oh ohh…
Oh oh oh ohh…
STOP!
[music rewinds]

[circles form]
Jesus is a keeper!
GO!

Chorus:
Jesus show us the way that leads to You [2 seconds upside down video]
Don’t wanna stray (oh oh ohh), lead us to Truth
Show us the way that leads us to You
Don’t wanna stray (don’t want to go astray), lead us to//
STOP!

[wandering about]
Oh oh oh ohh…
[everyone freezes in place]
Oh oh oh … only need the truth
Oh oh oh … oh oh oh … only need You…
Oh oh oh … oh oh oh … only need the truth
OH oh oh … oh oh oh … only need You

Chorus begins:
Jesus show us the way that leads to You
[people begin wandering]
[people stoop down in a group]
We don’t wanna stray (go go go go), lead us to Truth
[people rise up holding a slip of paper]
Show us the way that leads us to You
Don’t wanna stray, lead us to Truth

Oh oh oh … oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh … oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh … oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh … oh oh oh ohhh (only need the truth)

Go go go go … only need the truth
Go go go go …
Oh oh oh oh … oh oh oh ohhh… oh oh ….

[cheers]
