Wendy Porter Composes CBWOQ Theme Song

Wendy J. Porter, McMaster Divinity College’s Directory of Music and Worship, composed the theme song for the Canadian Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec. She set the foundational verses of the song—Romans 12:11-12—to an easy-to-remember melody. The words to the song are as follows:Keep it burning. Keep it burning. Keep it burning. Keep it alive. Keep it burning. Keep it burning.Keep it burning. Keep it alive.Never let the fire in our hearts go out.Never let our love for you, Lord, be in doubt.May we be joyful as we hope, patient when we suffer and ever faithful in prayer.Porter also led worship at the Women’s Weekend Away event held this Spring. A copy of the song also appears on the back cover of the July- August edition of live, a publication of the CBWOQ.
