SCOREBOARD
IDL Club is a mentoring program that currently helps Jamaican boys become the very best version of themselves. We engage them in arts, academics and athletics, to develop discipline, confidence and influence through leadership, teamwork and recreation. Attendance, attire, attitude and action are among the ways our boys compete to earn points for their squads.
As citizens of Jamaica, we think it is important that our boys have reference points to guide and support their development so, not only do we ensure that they know and understand the Jamaican national anthem and pledge, but also the IDL anthem and IDL pledge to affirm them as we recite them together at our weekly club meetings. Scroll down for both anthems and pledges.
IDL Anthem
Chorus
Imago Dei Imago De-e-ei Imago Dei
I am the image of God
Imago Dei Imago De-e-ei Imago Dei
I am the image of God
Verse 1
God made me with a purpose
And He designed me to achieve it
Greatness in my DNA Nobody can delete it
So anything I put my mind to
And every word when I speak it
God alone gets the glory
And this is no secret
Verse 2
I am the head I’m not the tail now
I’m a winner I won’t fail now
In everything I prevail now
In Jesus’ Name everyday now
Me? Have no reason to worry
God’s already given victory
Life and death is in my tongue
Everything works together for my good
I am the head I’m not the tail
I am a winner I won’t fail
In everything I will prevail
In Jesus’ Name I’m strong I’ve already won
You are the head you’re not the tail
You’re a winner you will not fail
In everything you will prevail
In Jesus’ Name you’re strong
You’ve already won
IDL Pledge

Jamaican National Anthem
Verse 2
Teach us true respect for all,
Stir response to duty’s call, strengthen us the weak to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish.
Knowledge send us Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above.
Justice, Truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love.
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica land we love.
Verse 1
Eternal Father bless our land,
Guard us with Thy Mighty Hand,
Keep us free from evil powers,
Be our light through countless hours.
To our Leaders, Great Defender,
Grant true wisdom from above.
Justice, Truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, Land we love.
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica land we love.
