Hello wonderful people of Hive! It’s such a joy to be back again for AfriTunes Week 191, and this time I’m sharing something truly close to my heart — my original song titled “Praise the Lord.”
This song was born from a season of reflection — a time when life felt uncertain, and everything around me seemed quiet. I remember sitting alone one evening, thinking about how far God has brought me despite my flaws, fears, and failures. In that still moment, I heard a quiet voice in my heart say, “Praise Me — not because everything is perfect, but because I’m still God.” That single thought became the spark that birthed this song.
“Praise the Lord” came as a reminder that gratitude isn’t reserved for when life is smooth. True praise begins when we choose to trust God even when we don’t understand everything. I’ve seen moments where I thought I wouldn’t make it, yet His grace carried me through. Those experiences shaped the lyrics — every line is a reflection of gratitude, hope, and victory.
Musically, the song carries an uplifting rhythm and joyful energy, but behind that melody lies a deep message: no matter what happens, praise is a choice. It’s a weapon, a declaration of faith, and a testimony that God remains good.
Every time I sing this song, it rekindles my faith and fills me with peace. My prayer is that as you listen, you’ll also find a reason to lift your voice and say, “Lord, I thank You — because You are worthy of praise.”
A heartfelt appreciation to the AfriTunes team, curators, and supporters for creating this beautiful platform where our sounds, stories, and African expressions of worship find a home.
