Receive The Power - Official Anthem of WYD 2008
70
On July 2008, Sydney will host the 23rd World Youth Day. Hundreds of thousands of young people from all around the world gather to celebrate the World Youth Day.
The theme song for the 23rd World Youth Day is "Receive the Power", written by Guy Sebastian (winner of the first Australian Idol contest in 2003) and Gary Pinto. It is built around the theme chosen by Pope Benedict XVI: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8).
The World Youth Day coordinator, Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Fisher, states that they wanted a song that was stirring and uplifting and a theme that had to measure up thematically and be an anthem yet be easily sung by people of all language backgrounds. Guy Sebastian's song "Receive the Power" has matched all these criteria. Bishop Fisher is confident that 'Receive the Power' will rally young Catholics of all backgrounds to World Youth Day.

The English version is performed by Guy Sebastian and Paulini Curuenavuli. "Receive the Power" was also translated in Spanish, Italian and French. The Italian version has been recorded by Robert Galea, a Maltese seminarian on exchange in Australia.
On July 20, Guy and Paulini will perform the WYD08 song before the Papal address accompanied by a 150 piece orchestra and 300 piece choir on the biggest stage ever constructed in Australia.

what a wonderful voice these two have..children singing always bring the tears to my eyes. Their voices are so pure and honest.Before my younger sister died of breast cancer she took her 4 children to the one in Canada..they were very moved to see the Pope and be among all the young catholic and faithful youths that attended. they still talk about it. In fact on Thanksgiving this year we discussed it.
