If you’ve every played Civilization IV —one of the greatest video games of all time—you’ve heard the theme song “Baba Yetu.” But did know that the lyrics are the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili?

Last night the song, which is sung by the Soweto Gospel Choir, became the first song written specifically for a video game to win a Grammy award.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
