Hello there 🥰 I welcome you all to week 104 and it feels good listening to each of your entries for this week. I have been contemplating on what to present to this amazing community, and the song **"Unlimited God"** came to my mind. I also though of doing and acapella with two Voices but I was unable to get a second phone cause I've been home alone. Therefore, I had to sing with just one voice . I couldn't procrastinate because procrastination, as it is always said and known, is a thief of time.

There is this tingling feelings I get whenever I record two different voices for a song. I just love doing it for fun and it makes me smile too😊. I dunno if you also feel what I feel whenever you sing with two Voices and try listening to it? If you haven't tried it out before, make sure you do and I bet you'll love it.

Whenever I wanna think of a song to sing anytime any day, "Unlimited God", is one of the songs that comes to my mind. This song is a powerful praise song by Nathaniel Bassey, a Nigerian artist, filled with the Holy Spirit. I didn't just decide to take up this song for singing sake. I did because it falls in line with what God has done in my life and that of my family. My God works in a mysterious ways. His ways are not known by any man and He is not limited by any man or thing.

All I have to say is that whenever there is a delay in what you pray to God so much about, it doesn't mean God hasn't heard your prayers or he is not gonna do anything about it. He knows just the right time to answer your prayer request. Therefore, hold on tight and wait cause your waiting will NEVER be in vain.

*Thanks so much for listening and reading through ❤️🤍❤️*

**Lyrics of the song**

No man can see the end of Your grace. No man can know the end of Your love.

No man can see the end of Your glory.

No man can know the end of Your power.

As far as the heavens stand

Stand above the earth.

You are exalted, Unlimited God

You are exalted, Unlimited God

Greetings wonderful people of the Hive Open Mic community. It's a privilege to be able to participate in this week's open mic. It's been months and I miss us here. I have a very tight schedule but I promised myself that no matter how tight my schedule will be, that I will always create time for hive. Even if it's 1 or 2 hours. So here am I with my entry for this week. I have chosen to do a cover of Phil Thompson's song, **'Atmosphere Shift'** for the theme, "Memories".

The song connects to the theme through the idea of God's presence and the impact it has on our lives, particularly in the way it shapes our memories and experiences.

Atmosphere Shift is one of the songs we sing in our church choir. Also, it's a kind of song that requires a great number of people to minister. It is a call and response song and it also needs different voice parts to so the impact can be felt. I decided to sing this song using two parts. The recording aspect of it wasn't so smooth as I had to use two phones for the recording and after so many trials and error, I could put something together.

I choose to sing this song because there is actually only one name that has the power to save us from all our problems. And that name is **JESUS**. This name is mighty in that by the mention of it, every knee bows and every tongue confess. Therefore, whenever you are in a difficult situation or position and everybody forsakes you, do not be weary because there is a God that never forsakes His own. He is with you everyday and everytime and He sees all that is going on with you. The transformative power of God in our lives impacts not only the present moment but also leaves a lasting impression on our memories and experiences.

The best for you to do is to call on Him morning, afternoon, and evening and He will answer you, he neither sleeps nor get tired. I have been calling on this name and He never forsakes me and I know that He won't.

I hope you stop putting your hopes on people as they will fail you, and focus on God who will never fail you any day , any time.

*Thank you for listening and reading through❤️🤍❤️*

**Apart from the colour filter, I haven't added any voice effect while editing this video.**

Hello there, I'm back again on your screen with my entry for this contest and I'm hoping you are having fun listening to this entry. I also appreciate the admin, @lordbutterfly once again for this beautiful idea of bringing music lovers together via this competition. This song I'm singing is not an easy song that just anybody can sing except you are determined to, with much work and focus. I've been battling with cough and cold since Saturday and it has affected my voice a great deal. I'm singing **"Never Enough"** by Loren Allred. I have been practicing this song for sometime and so I decided to give it a try for this competition.

Though it's not as perfect as I have always wanted it to be but I thank God that I am able to try something.

I've been in love with this song since I first saw the movie, *The Greatest Showman*. In fact, I am in love with all the songs featured in the movie. I didn't actually know how stressful the song is when I heard one of the female characters in the movie, Jenny Lind, sang it. I thought it was really simple till I decided to try practicing it myself. I gave up the practice because I thought I wasn't good enough to sing the song, that the song is just meant for those with good voices.

But here am I, taking up the song again and even turning it in as my entry for this competition. The song is a ballad that expresses the feeling of longing and the desire for something more. It reflects on the desire for perfection and the relentless pursuit of success, despite realizing that even the greatest achievements may still leave a person feeling incomplete.

However, beneath the surface of this pursuit lies a pathetic truth, and that is the realization that no matter how much success one achieves, it might never be enough to fill the emptiness inside.

*Thank you for having me, and do have a great day🤍❤️🤍*

Hello everyone, I welcome you all to vibes web3 music competition. I can see that the vibes music community is vibing already. Without wasting much time, my name is Emediong, known as @emyekanem on the hive blockchain. I'm glad to be a part of this web3 music competition, organized by the admin @lordbutterfly and other honourable team members of the vibes community.

This competition I know, will make room for people to bring out the best in them when it comes to music. I love music, I love singing but I stopped doing that for a while and I haven't been at peace with myself. I thank God I was able to overcome whatever tampered with my music spirit.

For my entry in this competition, I chose to make a video of an acapella version of Madison's **"God Only Knows"**. I choose this song because it reflects on the struggles and challenges of life, while finding solace in God's unwavering love and presence. The lyrics of the song encapsulate difficult times, feeling lost, and searching for meaning. During all these , nobody sees or cares about what is going on in our lives, except God. So this song urges us to turn to God, not only in times of need but in all affairs of our lives, find comfort in His unconditional love and it also gives the assurance that God knows and understands all.

The song reminds me of the faithfulness of God, even in the midst of uncertainty, encouraging me to trust in His plans and find strength in His love. I hope this song penetrate your hearts and give you joy and comfort as you listen.

*Thanks a million for listening to my entry🤍🤍*

It's been months since I last submitted an entry on this platform and even on the hive blockchain as a whole. If I wanna start writing my reasons, it will be way too long and I don't wanna bore you with them. But the truth is, it wasn't easy with me and life happened, I overcame and I'm fine now.

Once again I wish us all a Happy and a prosperous New year. We are approaching the first quarter of the year and with the way things are going in our country, a lot of people are at the verge of giving up in life. The prices of goods are sky rocketing and the quantities decreasing, making them not worth the prices they are sold for. A lot is happening, the poor are getting poorer and the rich, richer.

For my entry, I decided to do a medley of three songs, Give Me You by Shana Wilson, Breathe by Dunsin Onyekan, and Who Am I (don't really know the name of the song and the artiste). I so enjoy the medley of these three songs a lot because I usually feel good whenever I sing it. The songs are interconnected as they all express a deep longing for God's presence and love. The lyrics of the song, *"Give Me You"*, convey a desire to surrender everything to God, asking for His guidance and grace. At this point of our lives, we have to be willing to let go of everything else in life in exchange for a closer relationship with God.

The second song, *"Breathe"*, by Dunsin Oyekan, also emphasizes the need for God's presence in our lives. The lyrics speak of a desire to experience God's breath, life, and spirit. *Breathe* is a prayerful request for God to breathe new life, hope, and purpose into our lives, acknowledging that true fulfillment can only come from God Himself.

The last song ,*"Who Am I"*, is one that reflects on the overwhelming love and mercy of God. The lyrics express awe and wonder at the fact that despite our human flaws and limitations, God still cares deeply for us. The song emphasizes gratitude for God's love and grace, recognizing that it is a privilege to be loved and cared for by the Creator of the universe. It is a humble acknowledgment of God's goodness and faithfulness in spite of our unworthiness.

These three songs are not sang in full. There are just a combination of the first verse and chorus. Thank you for reading and listening to my video. I hope you enjoyed it?

**LYRICS OF WHO AM I**

Who am I

That you're mindful of me

Who am I

That you love me this way

Not for my good deeds

Not for how good I am

Who am I

That you love me this way.

Hello beautiful people 🌹🌹

For the past week that I haven't been available, I've really missed this platform and you guys a whole lot. I had an event to take care of and it really stressed me out. I couldn't afford to lose out in this week's performance come what may, therefore in my quest to come up with an African song to present, this song came into my mind and it really fits into the kind of songs I should be singing through out this year😊.

**"Open the Flood Gate"** by the Ghanaian artiste, Sonnie Badu, is a prayer of request. This is me saying to God, please just open the windows of heaven and pour your blessings on me in abundance. This has been my prayer point everyday. It's not like I am not blessed or something but I still need more of God's blessings.

Having to be alive till date is a blessing. Having a roof over my head, having clothings to cover my nakedness, having what to eat everyday is a huge blessing and I'm always thankful for all these. I'm grateful every blessed day of my life to my creator. I do not want more of my blessings to cease coming that is why I have chosen to sing this song. You can also join me to sing if you believe more blessings are coming your way🥰.

*THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME❣️❣️*

LYRICS

Baba o , Baba o

Baba o , Baba o

We’re in your presence ,

Let it rain

Cause your rain , let it fall on me(2*)

Open the floodgates in abundance

And cause Your rain, to fall on me

Open the floodgates in abundance

And cause Your rain, to fall on me(2*)

Baba o , Baba o

Baba o, Baba o

Baba o , Baba o

Baba o, Baba o

Hello there🌹🌹

Wishing y'all a happy and a fruitful new month.

Here we are again for the afritunes performance of week 73. This week, I bring to you a song by destined kids. If you know these kids, I'm sure you are also aware of the awe they leave us whenever they release an album😊. They usually unleash mind blowing and didactic songs as kids. I doubt these kids are still singing (I have no idea though).

These kids are the artiste of the song, **"Joy, Joy, Joy"**, and I can remember it was their very first song in their first album. Their names are listed in order as follows, Favour Iwueze, Rejoice Iwueze, Joshua Iwueze, Best baby Iwueze, Caleb Iwueze, and the last born, Wonderful Iwueze.

I admired them a great deal. I admired their courage as well as their boldness in singing. They usually leave the shy me thinking to myself a whole lot. I was like, *"Goddd, these are little children and they might be my age mate but I don't think I can have the boldness of singing in front of a camera not to talk of people.🥺🥺 But since they are doing it, then I can as well if I'm given the chance"*

The song I'm singing in the video above is titled, **"Nigeria is Good"** and it was specifically sung by the second daughter, Rejoice Iwueze while other kids backed her up. This song is one of their songs I fell in love with but I chose not to sing it as they did. I had to do something short. I'm sorry I couldn't make it more melodious, I had some constraint. This song, as I said in the video is one sung, to appreciate and be thankful to God for our country Nigeria, and our continent, Africa. I'm singing this song because it's a new month and I'm appreciating God for everything He has done for Africa. Nigeria is a blessed nation. There are a lot of bad happenings in other continents of the world that hasn't dared to cross over to ours. That is why we are tagged as **A Blessed Nation**. The lyrics of this song, says it all. Just click on the YouTube link below to watch their video.

Hello my dearest family🌹🌹

I welcome you to another week of hive open mic. For the theme of this week which says "Family", the song **"A Million Dreams"**, came into my mind. The term 'family' refers to a group of people that are related or binded together by blood, adoption, law, custom, friendship, marriage, etc. I have been opportune on this blockchain to meet virtual friends who have actually turned my family.

The song, "A Million Dreams" was featured in the musical film, *'The Greatest Showman'*, and it can be related to this theme. This song doesn't directly mention family but it conveys the themes commonly associated with it such as, hope, imagination, and the desire to create a better life.

Family is usually the main or primary source of support, love, and encouragement for individuals in pursuit of their dreams. Therefore, the song pictures the role played by family to nurture the aspirations of its members and create an environment where they can dream big and believe in the possibilities ahead

According to the movie, the song is sung by the character, P.T. Barnum who was a child, and it portrays his aspirations and dreams for something beyond his current circumstances. It depicts his yearning for a brighter future and the hope of sharing their journey with their loved ones (family).

The fundamental aspect of the family bond is the desire to create a better life for oneself and ones's loved ones, therefore in we do, we should neither abandon, forget, nor turn our backs on our family.

**LYRICS**

I close my eyes and I can see

The world that's waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before

But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I've lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

Hello beautiful people 🌹🌹

You are welcome to afritunes week 72. For me, I'm a bit late on making this post, 'cause a lot of work was really on my neck. I have developed a neck like a crane already because of stress😭. I didn't want to waste too much time practicing a long song because if I had, I bet I would have missed this week's presentation. I was actually inspired by @sholex to do a song by Mairo Ese entitled, **"You Are the Reason"**.

Mairo Ese is a Nigerian gospel artiste who is based in Lagos. I never really knew the singer of this song but I've been singing it occasionally. This song is a gospel song and I chose to sing it because God is the reason I'm still alive till date. He is the reason for my existence and because He is the reason that I am who I am today, I'll always sing praises to His name.

"You Are the Reason" is a very beautiful song that is usually sung in almost all the Christian churches during worship session because it is a song that adds prominence to worshipping God. It portrays the fact that without God, we are nothing and we wouldn't even exist. If you haven't been singing this song during worship in church or whenever you wanna worship God, please start singing it e go move God. No laugh, I'm serious.😊😊 I had to sing the song in my own way which is a lil bit different from the artiste. Please have fun singing along😘

Here is the [lyrics](https://www.google.com/search?q=lyrics+of+Mairo+ese+you+are+the+reason&oq=lyrics+of+Mairo+ese+you+are+the+reason&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650.14117j0j7&client=ms-android-transsion-infinix-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) of the song

You are the reason why I lift my hands

Why I lift my voice

Why I sing to you

You are the reason I'm alive today

I am here to say

It's all because of You

You are the reason

You are the reason

You are the reason

You are the reason

*THANKS FOR COMING AROUND🤍🤍*

Hello guys 🖤 🖤

Nice to see y'all again for this week's performance. The song I have chosen to present is that recommended by the community. I'm not really use to this song but I had to make sure I score it so I won't miss out in this week's presentation. I applaud my mom because most of the songs I know today, I learnt from her. Whenever she sings, I listen, sing along with her if I know little of the lyrics and then it will become part of me. However she sings it is how I'll sing it too😅. This song by Nathaniel Bassey is one of the songs my mom loved so much. She cherished it as if there is no tomorrow 😂, **"Onishe Iyanu"**.

My mom sang this song until I was fed up. I didn't wanna hear it anymore it was beginning to sound like a cliche. There is one part she usually sang and I will roll on the floor with laughter. If you listen to the song, you'd hear a place where the singer will be like, "Somebody give him a shout of praaaaise, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...." My mom usually sings this part in a veeeery funny way, though I didn't touch that part in my video cover.

Also, me singing this song, I still have cough which has really affected my voice. I strain my voice and it hurts my throat while singing which will wanna trigger the cough but I try hard to control it. This video might not be up to standard because of some voice error I encountered as a result of the cough. I TAKE GOD NAME BEG UNA, NO LAUGH ME, but you can smile. I'm most especially addressing this to @mhizerbee, person wey fit laugh for Africa😂😂😂.

This Nathaniel's song is a hit because it is a praise song. It is one that gives glory to God for everything he has done for humanity. If you have an opportunity to listen to it, I bet you'd love it🥰 Have fun listening.

*THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME🌹🌹*
