A song written by Seventh-day Adventist songwriter Dawn Bailey made the list of top five Christian songs in a London-based competition that ended this month. 

“Rejoice,” the title of the song, has aired on Christian radio stations in London, and features the voices of four girls from the Wilmslow Adventist Church in London. The song was written specifically to be performed by children, Bailey says. “They give a youthful vibrancy to the Christian message. In this song I have tried to give youth an insight into the joy they can have with Christ in their lives.”

“The girls are so dedicated,” Bailey continues. “They have sung at several concerts to raise funds for a children’s hospice. They’ve sung in a number of local churches, and have also performed at concerts, weddings and the Stanborough Press Open Day.

“This is a great opportunity to glorify God with the talents and gifts that He has given to us to honor Him and to present His message to young and old,” Bailey says.

The song competition, sponsored by Premier Radio, an inter-denominational Christian radio station operated in England, and by Yamaha Kemble and DM Music for Churches, ended Nov. 9 with a final competition, held at Westminster Chapel, Buckingham Gate, London.
