Hello everyone at Hive Open Mic Week #219 .It feels amazing to be back after being away for many months due to my offline jobs. For this week, I will be presenting a song from my own traditional Yoruba language and culture.
The title of the song is "Asiri," which means "Grace" or "Favor" in English. It's a really beautiful and uplifting song that I'm sure you'll enjoy. All thanks and glory to God for giving me another opportunity to share.
The lyrics of "Asiri" talk about how everything we have in life is because of God's grace and undeserved favor upon us. Without His grace, we wouldn't have anything good. The song reminds us to always be grateful and never take God's blessings for granted.
One of the verses talks about how we didn't do anything special to earn God's favor - it was freely given out of His love and kindness for us. We're told not to boast or be prideful, because our talents, family, jobs, possessions - it all comes through God's amazing grace.
Another part of the song describes God's grace as being sweeter than honey. It brings true joy, peace and fulfillment that money or material things could never provide. Tasting God's grace changes your whole perspective and attitude.
The lyrics go on to say that God's grace is what protects us and opens doors of blessings in our lives. When things seem impossible, it's His grace that makes a way. We're reminded to always put our faith and hope in His sufficient grace.
There's also a really powerful verse that describes God's grace as being powerful enough to break any curse or negative situation in our lives. His grace can turn failures into successes, sadness into joy, poverty into prosperity. The song fills you with belief that God's grace is enough to overcome any obstacle.
One of my favorite lyrics talks about how God's grace gives us the strength to persevere through hard times. It provides endurance, comfort and a reason to keep going when we feel weak. God's grace is truly what sustains us.
The melodies and rhythms are so beautifully uplifting and joyful. You can hear the gratitude pouring out through the lively vocals as the singer pours out their heart in worship. It stirs up the same feelings in my own spirit when I sing along.
Sharing this song is very meaningful to me because it connects to my culture and language in a special way. But the message of God's amazing grace is universal - it touches the hearts of people from all backgrounds.
I love how "Asiri" takes a simple but profound concept and expresses it with such vibrancy and passion. Each time I listen, I'm reminded of just how much I have to be thankful for because of God's grace covering every area of my life.
The lyrics inspire me to approach each new day with an attitude of humility and appreciation for the unmerited favor I've been given. They also give me courage to face any challenges head-on, knowing God's sufficient grace will equip me with whatever I need.
Ultimately, "Asiri" is all about making a joyful celebration out of acknowledging and exalting the source of every good thing - our gracious God's never-ending grace. What could be better than lifting up praises for such an amazing gift?
So I'm truly honored to present this song and its powerful message here on the Open Mic. I hope it blesses and uplifts everyone who listens, just as it does for me each time I sing "Asiri."
