Hello Beautiful people, greetings and best regards. I hope this post meets you with as much joy as I have seeing the end of 2023 and being alive for the great things 2024 has in store for us. I'm glad to be here once again for Hive Open Mic... This first week has been quite eventful for me, working on my song I want to put out as soon as possible while preparing for a journey I'm going on in two days and a bunch of other stuff. I'm really tired and hungry at the time of making this post on Saturday night and everything in me is screaming eat and go to bed but there's no way I'm going to miss the first week of hive open mic for the year. If possible I won't miss any this year.

Our theme for the week talks about friendship, something we're all familiar with. I have two close guys i've been friends with since nursery school and we're still good and in contact but it's a bit occasional, and it's not all things I can tell them, but the bible tells us that there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother... There are friends yes, but as a popular hymn says, there's not a friend like Jesus. The title of this song says it all, Nobody like Jesus.

The song is by a South African gospel musician named Neville-D and features a bit of rap by another artist Cjay, but in this cover I have covered only the part by the singer... The song was done in more than one key with modulation featuring probably multiple times, it was hard doing that without instruments but of course was a pleasure trying, and I hope you like this cover.

## Lyrics

>Nobody, nobody

Nobody can love me like Jesus

Nobody, nobody

Nobody can love me like Jesus

>No no no no

Nobody like Jesus

No no no no

Nobody like Jesus

Hola gente guapa, saludos y saludos cordiales. Espero que esta publicación los encuentre con tanta alegría como yo al ver el final de 2023 y estar vivos para las grandes cosas que 2024 nos tiene reservadas. Me alegro de estar aquí una vez más para Hive Open Mic... Esta primera semana ha sido bastante agitada para mí, trabajando en mi canción que quiero publicar lo antes posible mientras me preparo para el viaje que estoy emprendiendo. Dos días y un montón de cosas más. Estoy muy cansado y hambriento al momento de hacer esta publicación el sábado por la noche y todo en mí grita come y vete a la cama, pero no hay manera de que me pierda la primera semana de Hive Open Mic del año. Si es posible no me perderé ninguno este año.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

Nuestro tema de la semana habla de la amistad, algo con lo que todos estamos familiarizados. Tengo dos chicos cercanos con los que he sido amigo desde la guardería y todavía somos buenos y estamos en contacto, pero es un poco ocasional, y no son todas las cosas que puedo decirles, pero la Biblia nos dice que hay un amigo que se pega más que un hermano... Hay amigos sí, pero como dice un himno popular, no hay amigo como Jesús. El título de esta canción lo dice todo, Nadie como Jesús.


La canción es de un músico gospel sudafricano llamado Neville-D y tiene un poco de rap de otro artista Cjay, pero en este cover he versionado solo la parte del cantante... La canción fue hecha en más de un tono con La modulación se presentó probablemente varias veces, fue difícil hacerlo sin instrumentos pero, por supuesto, fue un placer intentarlo, y espero que les guste esta versión.

## Letra

>nadie, nadie

Nadie puede amarme como Jesús

nadie, nadie

Nadie puede amarme como Jesús

>No no no no

Nadie como Jesús

No no no no

Nadie como Jesús

Hello to you all my African brothers and sisters. Greetings and compliments of the season to all musicians, creatives, members of the afritunes community. Glad y'all made it to the new year, God who has caused us to see the beginning is gonna make sure we see the very end in Jesus name... So I'm here with my post for week 95, week that cut across two years with some sending their entries in 2023 before the turn of the calendar year. On both sides there have been nice entries so far and here's my own contribution.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

I've chosen to do this cover cos there's gonna be a lot of resolutions this period, both those that will be effective and those that won't. Many people say "New year, new system" and I want to encourage actually trying that. A lot of us young people in Africa acknowledge the existence of the almighty God and occasionally offer thanks but combine this with living life in sin, fear, sickness and the likes. Some of us know we do some things that are wrong but tell ourselves stuff like "Even pope sef dey sin", "It is impossible" e.t.c as if the whole point of Jesus coming wasn't to overcome for us... I just want to remind someone reading this that with God nothing is impossible. He is more than able and willing to help us. It doesn't matter the past up to a second ago, just your decision now and your faith. So here's a story to do just that.


The song Agatha tells a very short and interesting story and is by one of the fastest growing rappers here in south-south Nigeria, a protégé of Prinx Emmanuel and very good friend of mine... I had some difficulties doing this one acapella but of course enjoyed making this cover and hope you do too and it speaks to you.

## Lyrics

>His the first and the only kid

Born with a silver spoon

So him no know how suffer be

Popsi get rabber so him sponsor him school fees

Anywhere you want to study

Even if na another country

Johnny go UK him go overseas

Cause him no anybody to come dey over-see

His activities, he wants to be his own boss

Spend daddy money and live life as he please

O B O na him theme

And johnny said life is now his turn

And him don plan all those UK girls wey dey

Hello Hive-Learners. Greetings and compliments of the season to all learners, creatives, members and visitors of the community. Glad y'all made it to the last day of the year, God who brought us this far is gonna make sure we see the very end and the best of the new year in Jesus name... So I'm here with my post for Creative Sunday here in the hive learners community. It's my third time joining in for this and I'd like to make posts in response to the promt topics this week. That is said to be only for verified members, if you have any info on something I've gotta do first please do let me know in the comments.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

So I've seen preparation steps for many a mouth watering dish today. We seem to have many friends who are quite creative in the kitchen. I however have brought a song cover, music is what I do and love and I'm glad to share with you... I have made a cover of the song The Hill by American singer-songwriter Travis Greene. It's one of his songs released in 2017, many of which I love, and is also the title of his album from that year.


The song talks about trusting in God, making reference to the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ and it's significance. Well it's a few hours to 2024 here and a lot of folks are making new year resolutions, I guess mine include looking to hill from where comes my help... I recorded the cover with backing track with the Starmaker app and edited using Inshot all on my Samsung galaxy A50 phone. I enjoyed singing and hope you enjoy listening to this. Here's some lyrics below and a link for more.

## Lyrics

>Trouble has found me

Pressure is crowding

People doubting

But I gotta keep looking up

Ground is shaking

Walls are breaking

And my heart is racing

But I gotta keep looking up

>Some will trust in horses and chariots

But I will look to the hills and I will not fear

Some may say that they found another way

But my heart's on you and I will not move

>On the hill there's a cross

On the cross there is blood for me for me

Hello Beautiful people, greetings and warm wishes. Good tidings, I hope this post of mine meets you still in the Christmas spirit and filled with hope for the new year. I'm glad to be here once again for Hive Open Mic... Our theme for week 194 chosen by @samuelstifen is "End of December" and that is indeed when we find ourselves after the whole year has gone by. There's a verse in the bible that says "better is the end of a thing than it's beginning", and I pray we all end this year better than we began it.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

Christmas celebrates the fulfillment of a promise God made. Jesus was not born until about 700years after the prophet Isaiah had prophesied his birth. It may have taken long,but God can never fail. Why? Cos he's too faithful... There are many who feel this year was the absolute worst and are entering into the new one feeling low, I wanna encourage you to look back at all the good things in your life so far and in this year, and know that the same God who did all that is still gonna come through for you no matter how it looks now cos as the title of this song says, he's too faithful.

https://images.ecency.com/p/8DAuGnTQCLptZgjHUrRAJGcW4y1D4A5QVJJ7zjzqqKdfVHSS6NapSCC8BmeEpY8wciwfdbzb4GYd3GiQZxbnQE6Z4bSNaeBL7EvoX7KzKp4BBze6zM1AWzXHyxxnTE2G7MGtTUVYBd5KH7KUGGeyXTMeytUMPLLhT2PFXsCuNyt.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

The song is by a Nigerian music artiste Moses Bliss but is a popular Christian song across borders and it's my pleasure bringing a cover of it to y'all... Forgive my errors in the video, especially while singing in Spanish, but I did put in my best to get it right. I hope you enjoy this cover and you are blessed by it.

## Lyrics

>You're too faithful to fail me

Oh Jesus

You're too faithful to disappoint me

You've Proven Yourself in my life

And I've come to realize

You're too faithful to fail me

Hola gente linda, saludos y cálidos deseos. Buenas noticias, espero que esta publicación mía los encuentre todavía con el espíritu navideño y lleno de esperanza para el nuevo año. Me alegra estar aquí una vez más para Hive Open Mic... Nuestro tema para la semana 194 elegido por @samuelstifen es "Finales de diciembre" y ahí es cuando nos encontramos después de que ha pasado todo el año. Hay un versículo en la Biblia que dice "mejor es el final de una cosa que su comienzo", y oro para que todos terminemos este año mejor de como lo comenzamos.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

La Navidad celebra el cumplimiento de una promesa que Dios hizo. Jesús no nació hasta unos setecientos años después de que el profeta Isaías profetizara su nacimiento. Puede que haya tomado mucho tiempo, pero Dios nunca puede fallar. ¿Por qué? Porque es demasiado fiel... Hay muchos que sienten que este año fue absolutamente peor y están entrando en el nuevo sintiéndose deprimidos. Quiero animarte a que mires hacia atrás y veas todas las cosas buenas de tu vida hasta ahora y en así. año, y debes saber que el mismo Dios que hizo todo eso todavía te ayudará sin importar cómo se vea ahora porque, como dice el título de esta canción, él es demasiado fiel.


La canción es del artista musical nigeriano Moses Bliss, pero es una canción cristiana popular a través de fronteras y es un placer para mí traerles una versión... Perdonen mis errores en el video, especialmente al cantar en español, pero lo hice. dar lo mejor de mí para hacerlo bien. Espero que disfrutes esta portada y seas bendecido por ella.

## Letra

>Eres demasiado fiel para fallarme.

Oh Jesús

Eres demasiado fiel para decepcionarme

Te has probado a ti mismo en mi vida

Y me he dado cuenta

Eres demasiado fiel para fallarme

Hello Afri-tunes. Greetings and compliments of the season to all musicians and members of the community. Glad y'all made it to Christmas and into the last week of the year, the God who started it all is gonna make sure we see the very end of this year in Jesus name... So I'm here with my entry for week 94. I appreciate every entry that has come in so far and I'm just here with mine to complement them.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

After having had our Christmas week in week 93, most entries this week have been centered around praise to God. We've had way more gospel songs than usual and this is cause folks are reflecting on the year that's concluding and are grateful, and I am no different... In this appreciation and acknowledgement mode, a song that came to my mind is E-strong and I was really surprised cos it's been a while and I usually am not in the habit of doing songs by artists who I actually know in person, not to talk of one who is my friend and a brother to me. Anyway I decided to just go with it cos there must be a reason.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLH5hzKYwEzSKEne7CZDbrYWVxAJGd53zrSJn6YSyTyYtxMQBJPSvKuYXh6VWkCotbVEzM1tmaE7sU9KGnezKBxiu7znZphTmitJwEKbxQyerQyj75oKU.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

The song talks about the love of God being the strongest force ever. It was released in 2019 as Femi Matthew's debut track and since then he has gone on to record two live albums with his team which one or two people here are a member of... This was a throwback for me and I made a mistake with the lyrics entering into the bridge but of course enjoyed making the cover and hope you enjoy it too and can relate.

## Lyrics

>Your love e strong

E strong like rock

E dey fix my heart

E no dey break am up

See the way you dey chyke me

I no know sey I fit fall for anybody for

This world say; this your love e staunch

>Your love e strong

E strong like rock

E dey be like fire

Wey dey for my bones

See the way wey you love me

I no know say anybody go fit love me for this world.

Say; this your love e staunch

Greetings my people. Creators of African music content, and all those who appreciate African music in general. How e dey be? Compliments of the season to you all. This is Stefanovah here once again for Afritunes on Hive in this very special week 93 where we have a Christmas contest going on alongside the usual weekly entries.... So I'm here with my normal weekly entry, after having sent in my original Christmas song yesterday. I had this video ready and was about to post it yesterday before I read about the afri-christmas contest. Well, better late than never so I'm here to add mine to all the nice entries so far.

It's the end of the year and a time for much reflection. Looking back at the year most of us see how tough it's been and for some it's the worse year ever, but I think we can all agree that in all these we still have reasons to be grateful. For those who believe (like my humble self), we give praise to God with that gratefulness... Asides what he has done for us personally and what he continues to do for so many, God is worthy to be praised for who he is. So I have chosen to present this song titled Halleluyah no go finish by Freke Umoh in praise of the most high king.

https://images.ecency.com/p/k75bsZMwYNu2L3iBMXq5y7xeiy1isFJsZxnMZSXuXEsxe4ee1cUkGyPbBYNJKAuKi4d2EHX2X8bNCS9seBu3iMCaxYWVGys3MG8dpnYe358rXtmYkYpj4NHLK7XGEFbzN9iV4eNdoL8A1RGL5eGpucG744u5X4Jp6.webp?format=webp&mode=fit)

The song is a promise of everlasting praise that won't end. Halleluyah is the highest form of praise offered to Yahweh the eternal sovereign of the whole universe, the great monarch of Zion.... I enjoyed singing this song and declaring my unending praise, I do hope you like and enjoy this cover too.

## Lyrics

>My papa no go tire to dey bless me oh oh

So me I go tranga to dey thank am eh eh

Na the love we you give that am using to love you oh

It's the joy that I have that I'm using to praise your name

For your goodness (e no dey finish)

And your mercies (e no go finish)

Divine favor (e no go finish)

And your love (e no go finish for my life)

How about salvation (e dey)

Forgiveness (e dey)

Faithfulness (e dey)

And your presence (in your presence)

>Hallelujah no go finish for my mouth oh

Your goodness and mercy dey follow for my life oh

Praise the Lord cannot vanish for my tongue oh

Hallelujah no go finish

E no go finish for my mouth

Here's the original song:

Hello my African brothers and sisters, and all those who appreciate African music. Greetings and compliments of the season to you all. This is Stefanovah here once again for Afritunes here on Hive. It's December, and this time around for week 93 there's a special edition with a Christmas contest going on alongside the usual weekly entries.... So I'm here with this entry for Afri-Christmas. A big shout out to all who have sent in all them amazing entries so far. Lots of Christmas songs we know and some new. I'm just here to add some spice with my little presentation.

I really like this initiative, we should celebrate Christmas and have joy in any way we can. No let anybody oppress you o, as you no get snow at least you get village to go, we might not have Santa but we've got Jesus the Christ tho 😀. Abi how you see am?.... I was also glad to see the post about Afri-Christmas because I have had this song just existing in my head alone. If not for limitations due to finance and other stuff I for don enter studio run am this period already but I'm glad to at least be able to share it with you. 😊


So the song as it's name implies, just talks about the reason for the season, the gift that keeps on giving. In the midst of all the flexing, festivities, the Santa claus and Christmas songs that have nothing to do with Jesus, it's good to always remember why we celebrate.... So here's my Afrobeat Christmas (afri-christmas 😃) song. I had fun finally singing it out and making this entry, I hope you enjoy it and it blesses you.

## Lyrics

>It's a joyful season

and we're celebrating

See the way we be flexing

but what's the reason

>BRIDGE:

Unto us now a saviour is born

Prince of peace and a light to the world

Emmanuel our God is with us

Brought us peace and he showed us love

>CHORUS:

Halleluyah(3x)... all hail king Jesus

Halleluyah(3x)... all hail king Jesus

Halleluyah... Yeah

Halleluyah(3x)... everybody praise him

>Christmas, Christmas finally here, a time for some happiness, some joy and some fun

Christmas, Christmas finally here, forget Santa me I'm getting all my gifts from the Lord

Christmas, Christmas finally here, clothes and shoes, rice and chicken it's a spending galore

Christmas, Christmas, because Jesus don lap, anything we ask for we getting the answers

Las las Christmas don reach so join me to celebrate the reason for the season

>(BRIDGE)

(CHORUS)

>I bring you good news, glad tidings

Birth of the reason for the season, king of glory

Oh yes in a manger he was born

To be a reconciliation to our God

Hello my amazing friends. Greetings to all musicians, lovers of good music and all you lovely people that make up the Hive Open Mic community. I hope this post meets you in good health and high spirits. This is Stefanovah and I'm here once again for our weekly open mic.... I'm sending warm wishes and the best of the season to you reading this and to those you love. @wallay has brought us a very appropriate theme for this week which is gratitude.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

It's the end of the current year and the eve of another, and it's the perfect time for reflections. There have been many tough times for most of us this year, for some it's felt like the worst year of our lives so far but in all these if we look back we'll see we've got reasons to be grateful. Simply for being alive, and for the loved ones we still have around us, I think every single one of us have a reason to be grateful.... Personally I'm not ending the year having all I want but I am extremely grateful for every single thing, for people, for every little achievement, for my musical gifts, for love. So to add to all the beautiful entries we've already had this week I'm here with this medley.

https://images.ecency.com/p/8DAuGnTQCLptZgjHUrRAJGcW4y1D4A5QVJJ7zjzqqKdfVHSS6NapSCC8BmeEpY8wciwfdbzb4HAtmaegKxWVaigZqCvChXgwuiAZ63QRbzVVsafiJmNdVhN4w5Y79PzpfWTtMLjydyk882qRa2Abwz6YVYCFr1mpaG9PvprzrNi.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

These songs are simple choruses we sing in church over here that are an acknowledgement of God for all he's done and an expression of gratitude. There's a popular saying I've come to know and love which says "Appreciation is an application for more" and what better time to show our gratitude than now.... I decided to go the jazz path on this one even though I don't have any instrument and believe me I enjoyed myself. I hope you like this entry too.

## Lyrics

>We are grateful oh Lord

We are grateful oh Lord

For all you have done for us.

We are grateful oh Lord

>You alone art Worthy Lord

To be praised and adored

>You've been Faithful Lord

From the ages past

That is why Your Name

Is forever more

Hola mis increíbles amigos. Saludos a todos los músicos, amantes de la buena música y a toda la gente encantadora que formáis la comunidad Hive Open Mic. Espero que este post te encuentre con buena salud y buen humor. Soy Stefanovah y estoy aquí una vez más para nuestro micrófono abierto semanal... Te envío cálidos deseos y lo mejor de la temporada a ti que lees esto y a tus seres queridos. @wallay nos ha traído un tema muy apropiado para esta semana que es la gratitud.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

Es el final de este año y la víspera de otro, y es el momento perfecto para la reflexión. Ha habido muchos momentos difíciles para la mayoría de nosotros este año, para algunos ha sido el peor año de nuestras vidas hasta ahora, pero en todos estos, si miramos hacia atrás, veremos que tenemos razones para estar agradecidos. Simplemente por estar vivos, y por los seres queridos que todavía tenemos a nuestro alrededor, creo que cada uno de nosotros tenemos un motivo para estar agradecido.... Personalmente no termino el año teniendo todo lo que quiero pero estoy sumamente agradecido. por cada cosa, por las personas, por cada pequeño logro, por mis dotes musicales, por el amor. Entonces, para agregar a todas las hermosas entradas que ya hemos tenido esta semana, estoy aquí con este popurrí.


Estas canciones son estribillos simples que cantamos en la iglesia de aquí y que son un reconocimiento a Dios por todo lo que ha hecho y una expresión de gratitud. Hay un dicho popular que conozco y amo y que dice: "El agradecimiento es una solicitud para más" y qué mejor momento para mostrar nuestra gratitud que ahora... Decidí seguir el camino del jazz en este caso, aunque no No tengo ningún instrumento y créanme que lo disfruté. Espero que a ti también te guste esta entrada.

## Letra

>Estamos agradecidos oh Señor

Estamos agradecidos oh Señor

Por todo lo que has hecho por nosotros.

Estamos agradecidos oh Señor

>Tú solo eres Digno Señor

Para ser alabado y adorado

>Has sido Fiel Señor

Desde tiempos pasados

Por eso tu nombre

es para siempre más

Hello my African brothers and sisters, and all those who appreciate African music. This is Stefanovah once again and I'm here once again for Afritunes here on Hive. It's December, we are in week 92 and I just wanna acknowledge the musicians who have presented all them wonderful entries here so far and wish everyone compliments of the season.... I'm glad we all made it to the last month of the year and by God's grace I believe we'll see the end of this last month we've begun.

So this week my entry is Olorun Agbaye by the one and only pastor Nathaniel Bassey. This man is a system, a role model to almost every gospel music artist in Nigeria. On this song he makes an international collaboration with maverick city's Chandler Moore and another gospel artist from south west Nigeria that goes by the name Óba.... I remember when I first heard this song in 2020 after the lockdown, it was steady on repeat and the message was crystal clear. The song just talks about the might and splendour of the most high king and every single time I listen to it I find myself in awe of Yahweh.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLH5hzKYwEzSKEne7CZDbrzKCaaxjJgBuCNhLXH3756bBtwZhJgAqpGUjaC1xRD8xFqzvNQEPnmjZXYta11z2hGRpvG6hEWpnoqT2A8MuTF1jCN6UaL14.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

When I started recording this video I found out that doing this song acapella and alone isn't as easy as I had thought. I found myself doing both calls in the chorus and responding with "you are mighty o" and the other part. Then I got to the end and realised I don't understand Yoruba as well as I thought, those chants are not for the weak at all. I decided to live to fight another day.... Anyway, in spite of it all, it was really great making this cover. I hope you enjoy it, and it blesses someone.

## Lyrics

>You are Good, you are kind

You are more than these

I'm lost for Words trying to describe you

Elohim, El-elyon, Aleselewi

Your Greatness is all I see

There is nothing you cannot do

There's no mountain you cannot move

If you have said it

Then you will do it

Cause You have a Track record

Of keeping Words

And you're not about

To stop doing it now

>Olorun Agbaye oh

(You are Mighty oh)

Hello wonderful people. Greetings to all musicians , lovers of good music and all you wonderful people of the Hive Open Mic community. I hope this post meets you in good health and high spirits. This is Stefanovah and I'm here once again for our weekly open mic.... I wanna say thanks for the honour and show of love in week 190 and for this week 191 @alex-rourke has chosen for us the theme Beautiful Pets and it is indeed a beautiful theme.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

I wanna say I really like the system of having different themes each week chosen by different members as it brings variety which as they say is the spice of life. It also takes us out of our comfort zones as musicians and causes many of us to think outside the box to think of songs relating to the theme despite it being a pressure free invitation.... I thought on this topic and had a flashback memory of being teased by my siblings about being mum's pet. While some of us have beautiful animal companions that many have made wonderful entries about this week, I'm going to be singing about the beautiful feeling of being someone's pet, someone's favourite and being treated special. I hope I don't offend with this my interpretation of the theme.

https://images.ecency.com/p/8DAuGnTQCLptZgjHUrRAJGcW4y1D4A5QVJJ7zjzqqKdfVHSS6NapSCC8BmeEpY8wciwfdbzb4HAuFC1BiGEj98C9d3xSWbvXMiAZVKKTRkg4qWMhjM99BAe3rw35jLH9EcmMFNXfdDnQJuUb7aCD3a4kVAKKceZ9S4rMzqkJAM4.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

So this song simply talks about a personal beautiful experience with God that causes one to love him in gratitude. There's a line in it that says "I'm the apple of his eyes, the thought that fills his heart". I can really relate cos the way God loves me always makes me feel super special like I'm his favourite in the world.... Anyway, it was great doing a cover in which I just sang from my heart once again and I'm glad to be able to share it with you. I hope you like this cover.

## Lyrics

I know a God, who's merciful and kind

Faithful and gracious

I'm the apple of his eyes

The thought that fills his heart

Every Morning, noon and night

He loved me when I didn't care

And was patient till I came

Running back into his arms

Look how he turned my life around

Made me a shining star

His glory to reveal

I will worship Him forever

Love Him forever because

This God is too good oh

I will worship Him forever

Love Him forever because

This God is too good oh[more](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nathanielbassey/thisgodistoogood.html)

Hola gente maravillosa. Saludos a todos los músicos, amantes de la buena música y a toda la gente maravillosa de la comunidad Hive Open Mic. Espero que este post te encuentre con buena salud y buen humor. Soy Stefanovah y estoy aquí una vez más para nuestro micrófono abierto semanal... Quiero agradecer por el honor y la muestra de amor en la semana 190 y para esta semana 191 @alex-rourke ha elegido para nosotros el tema Beautiful Pets. y realmente es un hermoso tema.

https://images.ecency.com/p/2dk2RRM2dZ8gKjXsrozapsD83FxL3Xbyyi5LFttAhrXxr16mCe4arfLJNNn6KXj25ue5z6HEEFz3WbpzVbDYHiF2zRN4ANbNGgBD4tzDqNqrJ8oVfP6wtCzbKZpktHJr4gmtfXW6L8aofnT94h7AcJ9iQLrmJQR3suZXKPTq7U.webp?format=webp&mode=fit

Quiero decir que realmente me gusta el sistema de tener diferentes temas cada semana elegidos por diferentes miembros, ya que aporta variedad, que como dicen es la sal de la vida. También nos saca de nuestra zona de confort como músicos y hace que muchos de nosotros pensemos fuera de lo común y pensemos en canciones relacionadas con el tema a pesar de ser una invitación sin presión... Pensé en este tema y tuve un recuerdo retrospectivo. de que mis hermanos se burlaran de mí por ser la mascota de mamá. Si bien algunos de nosotros tenemos hermosos compañeros animales sobre los cuales muchos han hecho maravillosas entradas esta semana, voy a cantar sobre la hermosa sensación de ser la mascota de alguien, el favorito de alguien y ser tratado de manera especial. Espero no ofender con esta mi interpretación del tema.


Así que esta canción simplemente habla de una hermosa experiencia personal con Dios que hace que uno lo ame con gratitud. Hay una línea que dice "Soy la manzana de sus ojos, el pensamiento que llena su corazón". Realmente puedo identificarme porque la forma en que Dios me ama siempre me hace sentir súper especial, como si fuera su favorito en el mundo... De todos modos, fue genial hacer un cover en el que canté desde mi corazón una vez más y Me alegro de poder compartirlo contigo. Espero que les guste esta portada.

## Letra

Conozco un Dios, que es misericordioso y amable.

Fiel y amable

Soy la niña de sus ojos

El pensamiento que llena su corazón

Cada mañana, mediodía y noche

Él me amaba cuando a mí no me importaba

Y fui paciente hasta que llegué

Corriendo de regreso a sus brazos

Mira como cambió mi vida

Me hizo una estrella brillante

Su gloria para revelar

Lo adoraré por siempre

Ámalo por siempre

porque Este Dios es demasiado bueno oh

Lo adoraré por siempre

Ámalo por siempre

porque Este Dios es demasiado bueno oh[más](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nathanielbassey/thisgodistoogood.html)
