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

I am Imago Dei, image of God living intentionally for eternity. I pledge to do my best at all times because I am created by God, like God, for God. I will love without condition, rule with justice, lead with wisdom, pursue with courage and serve with honour. I am Imago Dei, image of God. 

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.

Jamaican National Pledge

 

Before God and all mankind, I pledge the love and loyalty of my heart, the wisdom and courage of my mind, the strength and vigour of my body in the service of my fellow citizens; I promise to stand up for Justice, Brotherhood and Peace, to work diligently and creatively, to think generously and honestly, so that Jamaica may, under God, increase in beauty, fellowship and prosperity, and play her part in advancing the welfare of the whole human race.
