A Tribute To Rev. Dr Tow S H (9/03/2019)

I never really knew who God was, if not for u.

Your clear concise booming voice spoke the true good news.

I had understood God from a superficial point of view.

But u spoke the Word Of God as clear as day I never knew.

U unfold the truth bound inside a book waiting to be told.

I never heard of a sermon spoken yet so bold.

Until I came to Jurong Calvary BP church in 1985 when u were not so old.

U solemnised my marriage I cannot forget.

The day u even tried sharing the gospel with my stubborn late Dad.

U are not only my devout faithful pastor

U were also my wife's gynae doctor.

U delivered my first two sons personally

Coolly humming hymns in the labour ward while I perspired profusely.

We always converse in Teochew when we meet one to one.

Always have that sense of bonding just like father & son.

U even visited my wife in the later years when she was unwell

Even though u were advance in age & not in very good health.

Such was your love for your church members our hearts could tell.

Your physical capability wasn't like before

Your absence from our church leaves us heartsore

It pains us not seeing u in church anymore

Knowing your love for God and the church is so much more

U are truly a man of God, who understood the cost.

Denying yourself, submit to God and carried the cross.

How wonderful are the feet of him who bring good news to men.

Who preaches the wrath of God & yet can still remain your friend.

A man who mourns with u thru sad times & counsels u thru strife.

A man who prays with u thru trials & laugh with u thru life.

To walk in the footsteps of Jesus needs more than just good shoes

To walk in the narrow path many failed to choose

U hv taught us to grow so much in the Lord

We thank u for your faithfulness and trust that great is your reward.

Surely we would miss u Rev. Dr Tow Siang Hwa

Till we meet again as our journey to heaven isn't that far.
