GOSPEL SONG IN CANTONESE

There was one year in which I accompanied some colleagues and students from the Choir to a Choir Festival in Desaru.

There, we met choirs from different schools in Singapore. One of the schools was from Hong Kong and they were a Christian institution based in the New Territories (新界).

They requested an interaction with our school. I don't know why they picked us. One of the songs that they sang was a Gospel song in Cantonese.

My ability to understand Cantonese is intermediate and they were singing a song about a new day and Jesus being the light of the world.

Hearing their young voices singing brought joy to my heart. I recorded their singing on video and even though I am not a Christian, I still enjoy listening to that recording.
