Jesus Youth Launches Official Anthem “Generation Hope” Ahead of Teens Ministry Gathering 2026

BENGALURU — In preparation for the Teens Ministry Gathering (TMG) 2026, Jesus Youth Teens Ministry India has officially premiered its theme anthem, “Generation Hope.” Composed and performed by the youth music collective Downtown Disciples, the song is designed to inspire young people nationwide to live boldly, build community, and share their faith.

The lyrics, penned by Ansel Francis and Joseph Bastian, trace a journey from personal brokenness to shared spiritual renewal, centered on the core refrain:

“Pass the promise through the land,
We are Generation Hope
Tell the world, we won’t let go
Every wonder You have done…”

Musically, the release brings together a six-member vocal ensemble—Maria Martin, Ansel Francis, Maria Catherine, Rosanne Antony, Aleena Mary Thomas, and Joseph Bastian—backed by guitarist Gidel Jacob. Production was overseen by Sebin Sabu, with mixing and mastering completed by Christeen Manuel and lyric video design by Antony Joseph.

The anthem serves as the central rallying point leading up to TMG 2026, scheduled for October 1–4, 2026, in Bengaluru, where participants from across India will gather for four days of worship, fellowship, and ministry.

Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh!
Oh-oh-oh!
We stand together now
We lift His praise up high

I was frozen in the dark alone
Then You healed this heavy heart of stone
You broke the chains and gave me life
Now I step into Your living light

This fire inside is burning bright
It won’t stop with us tonight
We’ll tell the world
That Jesus is alive

Pass the promise through the land
We are Generation Hope
Tell the world, we won’t let go
Every wonder You have done
We will shout it north and south,
East and west, we’ll lift him up
His love lives, it never dies !
We are Generation Hope!

No cap, we need no proof
Stand bold, God is with us
Choose love, forgive, let go
We know right where we belong

This fire inside is burning bright
It won’t stop with us tonight
We’ll tell the world
That Jesus is alive

Pass the promise through the land
We are Generation Hope
Tell the world, we won’t let go
Every wonder You have done
We will shout it north and south,
East and west, we’ll lift him up
His love lives, it never dies !
We are Generation Hope!

We lift Jesus up
We lift Jesus up
Everybody sing yeah
We lift Jesus up
