Since the anthem was adopted upon independence in 1962, there has arisen alternative lyrics for some lines of the anthem that stress Christian imagery and divine protection for the nation. It is unclear when these lyrics were first used, who wrote them, or how official they are, but they have been used with increasing frequency; the nation is almost entirely Christian as well.
