Hello welcome to the week 278th edition of the hive open mic, I am @sirjoshua and in this week's edition I'll be doing the cover of Iba by Pastor Nathaniel Bassey. This song "Iba" means "I give You reverence, or I bow down" in yoruba,
it tells me of how to come before God in worship. This transcends beyond the physical for me as it is a heart posture when ever I worship my God and King. My words being within the human thinking and vocabulary is truly limited and too small to contain the Wonder of God, how Big He is, how Beautiful He is and the only thing I can do is to keep bowing my heart in worship to Him.
