Hello everyone in this wonderful group and community (Sound Music). I am your guy @joshuabbey.. How are you doing over there? Its my pleasure to to join this initiative this week. I love a space like this, especially when it is a religious community.
Greetings to all the admin, moderators, ad supporters in this community. To all the artist who has been performing weekly in this community, i say Kudos to you all. Here is another opportunity to express ourselve in musical manners... My presentation for this week is collections of Africa praises. Praise and worship is one way by which we reference God. This week i will be singing some of the praise songs that is very common in most African churches.
Some of these praises are rendered oftten in our churches and we dont even know the composer of this songs. Today i give credits to all the composer of those songs we have been using in our choir renditions, praises and all platforms where those songs are used. Like i used to say on this platform that African music is lyrics based, and you cant enjoy african music if you sont have good listening ears. African music contains religios fact, social facts and tradional facts.. They are songs of wisdom, most of these songs was composed centuries ago and are evergreen..
The first collection in todays presentation goes thus:-
Darling Jesus, darling Jesus
Oh, my darling Jesus
You are wonderful, Lord
I love you so much, darling Jesus
Oh, my darling Jesus, you are wonderful, Lord
This first one is like professing our love for Jesus to the world.. telling the world about His supremacy and His Lordship over us when we gave our life to Him to be the Lord over us.
The second one goes like this:-
You are the Lord
That is your name
You will never share Your glory
With anyone
You will never share your glory
With anybody
Almighty God
That is your name....
In my recent post, i was talking about Gods name according to the Hebrew.. there are Gods name that are beyond human comprehension and reasoning... One of this name is YaHWEH, Jehovah, I am, Elohim and many more like that. The song is telling us that God is full in Glory, and this glory he will not share with anyone. No one can even claim the glory for himself.. Is it the glory of life, or the glory of the creation of the universe, which one can we share with Him?
The thirds song says:
Unquestionable you are the Lord, unquestionable you are the Lord,
Unquestionable, unquestionable,
Unquestionable, unquestionable
You are the Lord.
This last one is telling us that God can not be questioned. He does things as he likes and no one can ask Him why or charge Him to court. His decision is always final....
Those are the African collections for this week, i hope you have been blessed listening to them. See you again next week, i am @joshuabbey
