In this week’s Sunday Spark: The Set List, we hear “Long Way Around the Sea” by Low—a quiet, haunting retelling of the journey of the Magi.

After following the star and bringing their gifts to the Christ child, the travelers receive a warning: do not return to Herod. Their faithful journey home must take a different road. With simple words and a reflective melody, the song reminds us that encountering Christ can change our direction—and that sometimes faith calls us to take the longer, less familiar way.

Listen and reflect on the courage it takes to follow God’s leading, especially when the road home is not the road we expected.
