World Youth Day 2008

WYD 2008 just finished last Sunday, 20 July 2008. This event touched my heart intensely as I witnessed hundred thousands of young people, full of energy and kind spirits, and the very humane Pope, united to praise God. It gives me hope, that in this mad world, there are still plenty of decent people.

I also like the theme song: Receive the Power

The lyrics:

Verse 1
Every nation, every tribe,
come together to worship You.
In Your presence we delight,
we will follow to the ends of the earth.
Chorus
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power, from the Holy Spirit!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power to be a light unto the world!
Verse 2
As Your Spirit calls to rise
we will answer and do Your Will.
We’ll forever testify
of Your mercy and unfailing love.
Chorus

Bridge
Lamb of God, we worship You,
Holy One, we worship You,
Bread of Life, we worship You,
Emmanuel, we worship You.
Lamb of God, we worship You,
Holy One, we worship You,
Bread of Life, we worship You,
Emmanuel, we will sing forever.
Chorus
