William Chong

The three indicators of typical Christian Contemporary Music (CCM):

1. happy joy instrumentation. Lots of uplifting singers, they’re all so happy!
2. suspended chords (sus4, 9th chords, etc). Very good at heightening the excitement of listeners, especially in a packed CLC hall.
3. repeated refrains. Almost like writing lines afterschool-sort of repetition, except you *want* to repeat lines such as “MY REDEEMER LIVES” and “You are Holy” ad nauseam.

So yes! Here’s one I prepared earlier. I enjoyed lilting and singing. If I were a Pentecostal I’d include some blabbering tongues, hehe. Cheryl also provided backup vocals!

That’s Our Jesus – WILLIAM CHONG

He came to save the world
He came to take us by the hand
He came to help us understand
He came to tell us all He was the Son of Man

He told us right from wrong
He told us about His land above
He told us who and how to love
He told us to spread the Word of God all around the world

When you love somebody
till your hands start to bleed, that’s our Jesus
When you take the fall
and then rise up again, that’s our Jesus
Didn’t matter that we despised Him
Didn’t matter that we rejected His love
He did it anyways

You’ll have enemies to face
Be persecuted for your faith
But you don’t have to be worried
Just remember that in our Saviour
We are all reborn again!
