Singpetra Missions is one of Singapore/Malaysia's pioneering ministries in Chinese gospel music. They are a pepper-sized. no doubt, but like pepper, their impact is felt in the chinese-speaking community worldwide in the short period of 15 years. Strengths? Evangelistic concerts (paired up with the local chinese church) that touches the hearts of many who are ripe for the harvest. Songs with strong lyrics that speaks about the greatness of God. Tight international-quality recordings that i envy as a sound engineer. Many of the songs are used in chinese churches on a regular basis, so much so that people won't even expect that it has a local upbringings. Some of this songs have penetrated the dark world to places where despair runs high, like in prison (My Hiding Place, a famous song, is one of them - the actual title in chinese of course)
And some of the songs have spoken to me very personally... I relli praise God for the work they've allowed God to use themselves in... The following is one of lyrics of the songs that keep making me sing in joy, of course the below being a literal chinese to english transalation - another of their songs that is now mainstream church music.
'I have God's strength with me!
leading me in the forward march;
Over the oceans,
Over the mountains;
He will make my paths straight;
I have God's strength with me!
A light for my path;
Turns the rain,
Into a river;
Pushing all the hurdles away!
Jehovah makes a way for me,
Opens the floodgates for me;
Holding the sun,
Shining His glory,
Partnering pass each level!
He opens a way for me!
Opens the floodgates for me;
The light unto my feet,
The light along the path;
I'll march forward in faith!'
Amen.
