World Youth Day 08 Song - Receive the Power - International Version

The theme song for the XXIII World Youth Day 08 in Sydney was Receive the Power, written by Guy Sebastian and Gary Pinto.World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest youth event in the world and was held in Sydney from Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 July 2008.
WYD08 attracted 223,000 registered Catholic pilgrims, including 110,000 from 170 nations making it the largest event ever hosted in Australia. I find this theme song particularly moving.
