Sing Hallelujah to the Lord

(11 Jun) Thinking back exactly a year ago, on 11 June 2019, it was the first time I felt like crying when listening to poetry:

Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah to the Lord

What touched me was not the content, nor the melody of the poem.

It was the people who sang. I was surprised that they could sing all night long in front of the Legislative Council without a break.

I have a Christian friend staying there that night, who is also a secondary school teacher. I just asked him what happened back on the night of 11 June and why would people starting singing the song.

He said he was supposed to participate in a prayer meeting that night, and after the prayer meeting was over, the crowd began on their own to sing Hallelujah to the Lord. He was going to leave after singing a while, but then time passed so swiftly and it just happened that he has doing 9 hours of singing, he even saw the sunrise…

Over the past year, I have seen so many Christians in Hong Kong living out their faith courageously, defying oppression and insisting on speaking out for justice! (Thank you for letting everyone know that religion can be “far from impractical”.)

At last, my friend explained to me that in the Book of Revelation, “Hallelujah” prophesied that evil regimes and corrupt economies would fall apart, thus all the angels “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord”!

My friend also said that Kevin Yeung Yun-hung (Secretary for Education) had forbidden “Glory to Hong Kong” to be sung in schools, but then my friend would sing “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord” to Praise the Lord, as well as to remind the students of what date tomorrow (12 June; 612) is.
