About the Song: 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 captures the story of our shared history, Christian identity and our call to mission. Written as the theme song for Pope Francis Singapore 2024, the piece centers on the Trinity as the perfect model of Christian unity which provides the foundation for a unified Church. "May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me." - John 17:21 When the Church is in unity, the collective strength, solidarity and resolve of One People moving in alignment with the Spirit forms the driving force behind our mission to serve and live out the gospel. This gives us courage to overcome fears, uncertainties and divisions in an increasingly challenging and distressed world. The song touches on our identity as One People through our common baptism and communion with Christ, making us "light for the world" and witnesses to the faith, so that "all generations will know the glory of God". 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 is a message of Hope and Unity, which is the theme of Pope Francis' visit to Singapore.
