National Day

Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore!

In celebration of our National Day, Pastor Rony Tan of Lighthouse Evangelism composed and wrote this "The Singapore Song".

Here's what he has to say about the song, "In deep gratitude to our protective and caring government all these 43 years, The Singapore Song was written in their honor. It is also specially dedicated to Mr & Mrs Lee Kuan Yew."




Lyrics:
Oh I was born on a cold and rainy morn
My mama cried as she held me, frail and small
There was no hope in her eyes
as the enemies swept by
A colony left alone to bleed and die

Oh it was hard to endure pain and tyranny
Beneath the load how we yearned to be free
Then came the day of liberty when we took our destiny
To build a nation of strong security

Singapore I hear your call
All for one and one for all I stand so tall
Now that I've finally survived
I pledge my heart and life
So in this homeland I vow to live and die

Oh we were born after the war peacefully
We've never known great suffering and poverty
But we know our fathers' sacrifice
And what they've left behind
A legacy we hold dear in our lives

Singapore We hear your call
All for one and one for all We stand so tall
Now that we've finally survived
We pledge our hearts and lives
So in this homeland we vow to live and die
