Story behind the song: Let the Saints
Sunday, April 29, 2007
 Victor Tan:One night at home, 5-6 years ago, I was doing my homework while there is adult cell group going on in the living room. During the worship, a lady was praising God loudly and kept saying: "we the saints praise you...", something like that. Inspired by the phrase and melody of the piano, a new melody and lyrics sprung up in my head, which is the chorus of "Let the Saints". I checked the online bible to verify the validity of 'saints', and realized that because of Jesus, we are redeemed and had become saints. And King David wrote many psalms relating to the saints, the call for them to love God, to sing praises to Him. The written chorus of this song kept ringing in my mind for days, and in 1-2 weeks, the verse is being written. The phrase 'raging fire' is being inspired by one of Ginny Owens' (my fav christian artiste) songs, which sings of a desire to not only be a flame, but the raging fire that is tired of its own will and way, and reaches out for the higher calling of God. So, this is how the song came about. It was sung in english service & TEENz a few years ago, and I am very surprised that the album committees and arrangers picked this song to be in the recording! =)  Dewy-eyes: Surprised ler, siewvic, teehehehe.. Hey Hey you you!! Remember my promise to publish e demo of e 1st raw recording of tis song? Here it is! Cool intro hor!!
