Catholic 200SG theme song

Catholic Church Singapore celebrates 200 years of its faith with a theme song!

On 20 November 2021, Catholic Church Singapore launched this theme song based on ‘Obedience and Faith’ as it celebrates 200 years of its Catholic Faith in Singapore. This theme song is a rallying call to reflect on the role of the faith in our lives through prayer and discernment exercises, and to witness to the faith through going ‘forth to serve’. For it is when we live in Christ, we can exclaim like St Paul “I live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20). We give thanks to God for our founding fathers who brought the Catholic Faith into this small island of Singapore. Click on this link to sing along with us https://youtu.be/qFKpsle17qU

As we close our eyes and pray
We reflect on our church today
200 years of faith was sown
When our founding missionaries built the place we now call home

May we listen to your call
Avoid distractions and placing you above all
You complete all that we are
For by your grace, we’ve come this far

Chorus
We will ignite and shine, for all the world to see
We will ignite and shine, for Singapore, for you and me
We will ignite and shine, with faith and unity
We are one church, one family.

As we go forth to serve
Teach us patience, teach us your love
May you empower us inside
To be beacons of your light

Bridge
There is no greater love, there is no greater life
Even when we don’t deserve, it’s still us you desire
We will deepen and discern, to you we consecrate
To be a witness for our faith, to rejoice and celebrate

Chorus 2
Let us ignite and shine, for all the world to see
Let us ignite and shine, for Christ is in you and me
Let us ignite and shine, with your love and charity
We are one church, one family.
