🎵 “Seed of Faith in Kedjom Keku”
(Choral Competitive Song)
🎶 INTRO (Slow, Solemn – Unison)
All:
In nineteen thirteen the seed was sown,
From Shisong hills to Kedjom home,
Two servants came with hearts aflame,
To plant in us Christ’s holy name.
🎶 VERSE 1 (Soprano & Alto)
From distant lands they journeyed far,
Guided by faith like Bethlehem’s star,
Rev. Lennartz, Bittner bold,
Brought us a treasure richer than gold.
Tenor & Bass (Soft Echo):
Richer than gold… richer than gold…
🎶 CHORUS (Full Harmony – Strong)
All:
Oh Kedjom Keku, rise and sing!
Faith shall forever reign as King!
Through trials and storms we stand as one,
The Church of Christ shall not be undone!
Glory! Glory! Let bells resound!
St. Bernard’s grace in our land is found!
🎶 VERSE 2 (Tenor Lead)
Though halted by decree and fear,
Though ordered out, they shed no tear,
To Njinikom they moved away,
But God prepared a brighter day.
Soprano (High Harmony):
Religious storms could not divide,
For faith in Kedjom would not hide!
🎶 BRIDGE (Call & Response – Energetic)
Leader:
Who trained in exile far away?
Choir:
Fernando Po prepared the way!
Leader:
Who came back strong in nineteen nineteen?
Choir:
The pioneers with hearts so keen!
Leader:
Emmanuel, Johannes, James!
Choir:
We honor now your faithful names!
All (Crescendo):
Your sacrifice became our light!
Your courage turned our dark to bright!
🎶 VERSE 3 (Alto Lead – Reflective)
From small communities faith did grow,
Through school and church its light did glow,
St. Bernard’s parish standing tall,
A house of hope, a home for all.
Bass (Deep & Firm):
Through war and fire we did not fall!
🎶 GRAND CHORUS (Climactic – Full Harmony)
All:
Oh Kedjom Keku, lift your voice!
In Christ our Lord we now rejoice!
From seed to tree our faith has grown,
In every heart His love is sown!
Stand firm! Stand strong!
Let history tell—
God’s mighty works in Kedjom dwell!
🎶 CODA (Slow, Powerful Ending)
Soft:
From thirteen to this present day…
His grace has led us on the way…
Full Voice Final Line:
KEDJOM KEKU FOREVER SHALL STAND —
A PARISH BUILT BY GOD’S OWN HAND!
🎵 (Hold final note with strong harmony)
