Hello friends in the Afritunes community🥳🥳. It's week 33 and another lovely weekend. It's my first entry and I'm super excited.

I've always tried to make entries but somehow, providence wouldn't permit until this day! Even this one, my eye don see shege on top this song 🤧😂, thank God for good friends.

This is one song I've know for a long time and have always wanted to do. In his live performance, Cobhams mentioned the quality of us learning to give thanks even in the most difficult situations. This day two years ago, Nigeria was in an uproar. The whole country was in mourning and it'll forever resonate in our minds. Tales of that day will be told to unborn children. Despite this, we learn to be grateful even in the dreariest of situations.

Lyrics

Have you read the papers do you hear what they say
Rising unemployment cost of living everyday
Is getting high
Another suicide bomber in a bus with thirteen kids
It kinda makes me wonder what those children ever did

Yet we still go to church
And sing shout to the Lord
And we lift up holy hands and we're reading His word
Now am sitting by my piano with nothing to play
But that doesn't change the fact that God is God anyway

So I sing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Hear my humble cry see my broken spirit
But in every situation
I'll still choose to worship You uuu

Please forgive me this is not your normal worship song
I try to write a simple song that me and everyone can sing along
But i realize that there is something about praise
It shouldn't only come when all is seemingly okay
So when you start to cry like your life is a mess
Don't be scared don't be discouraged
It is only a test
Why don't you lift up your voice to the ears of your God
And release sweet smelling savor from your alabaster box

Singing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Though the flowers die see the branches whither
But when troubles multiply
I'll still choose to worship You uuu

I worship You Almighty God
What a mighty God we serve
Who is there like You Jesus
Lover of my soul
Only God to whom all praise is due
Blessed be the
He will make a
You are highly oooo ooo

Bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Singing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanks giving

Hear my humble cry see my broken spirit
But in every situation
I'll still choose to worship You
Only You

This is so beautiful and the song was a combination of so many worship songs and it was just so beautiful listening to you sing.

The message of the song is also clear, I love it 😍❤️

Hope dear🤗 thank you so much 🤗❤❤

You're always welcome dear 🤗

@ksam, @obaro coman see something 😁😂

@olujay, @josediccus, @monioluwa, @chosenfingers, @hopestylist, @monica-ene, @onos-f, @maryjacy, here's one you might want to see 🤗🤗❤️

Yes, I've seen it and I love it ❤️

What can I say? What do I say? Is it the song choice itself, or the excellence with the delivery of the song (seemed like it took 9 months to prepare), or the vocal dexterity? I am amazed every week by every side to your music that you show us.

I have actually known this song for a long time, I just never sang it much. It reflects the heart of many Nigerians (someway) and practically teaches us how to live in trying times like these: we still have to worship Him.

Nigeria will never forget what happened two years ago and what it turned Nigeria into. We have absolute no faith in our government anymore. And can you blame us, after the massacre? I really doubt that. We lost our very own who graduated from our school (may his soul rest well).

Nonetheless, all we can hold on to is hope and faith that Nigeria will be great. It once was, and one day it will again.

Way to go with your first entry into Afritunes. You have landed with a banger, as usual, and I am so looking forward what more you'll bring here. Never forget the tag

9 months and 3 days 🤧🤣.

Yes o, for years we've been complaining things are bad but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. We just pray that may our best days not be these days.

Yeahh, it's so saddening. May his soul and the others' rest in peace 🤲🏾🕊

I look forward to that great Nigeria, them never steal the light wey dey end of the tunnel so we still get hope 🥰😂

Of course, I don't want to be haunted 😂🤗. Thank you for the beautiful comments 🥰🤗❤❤

Obviously @sekani is a born singer. Final full stop.

No long talk 😂. Thank you so much, for always! @onos-f 🤗❤

My word! Stunning. You could actually go pro, it's in you, I've never been thrilled in a long time, I kept on replaying the song over and over again. I couldn't help but nod my head in satisfaction, it's probably one of the best stuff I've heard in a long. Oh wow. Well-done for thrilling us again.

@tipu curate for your efforts

Yaaay, official hypeman 😂🙌🏾🤗. I'm really glad you enjoyed it 🥰,

Thank youuu🤗🤗🤗❤

Even this one, my eye don see shege on top this song

Seriously!!! My ears even heard the shege you saw and I was transgbawed, sorry transformed.

The vocal dexterity and techniques you displayed here are not of this world 👏 so so so wonderful and you did so well.

The song choice is something else. This is one song that speaks practically about the situation of things in Nigeria. It touches the reality on ground and encourages us not to relent in praising God amidst these disturbing situations.

Chai!

Thank you so much for blowing our minds and bursting our brains. We believed you'll do so and you proved us right.
