Hi, Afritunes community, Welcome to another week and our last date before the new week, when we celebrate African music.

For week 68, I will sing an Acapella cover of a composed song. As I said in the video, it wasn't composed by me. It's a gospel song, and the inspiration for the song comes from the Bible in Psalm 139. So stay tuned.

This composed song came to my mind while I was looking for a song to sing, and for a moment, I thought the lyrics were wrong, but after I saw and read it in the Bible, I was convinced otherwise.

The lyrics of the song were based on a passage from the Bible, which is a source of inspiration and guidance for many people. This realization gave me confirmation that the lyrics were indeed correct, and I was able to sing the song with confidence. The part I loved was the part that read, "Search me, O Lord, and know my way. If there is evil there, lead me to everlasting life".

The verse means that if there is any wrong path I am taking, God can help me find a way to the right one. This verse brings me comfort and reassurance that I will be able to find the right path with God's help.

Earlier today, I recall the preacher explaining a Bible verse that says, "Watch and pray." Even though we may feel that we are immune to the devil and that Christ strengthens us, we should still watch and pray. We should actively seek God's grace and protection, and stay vigilant against evil and temptation. It is only through prayer and watchfulness that we can stay on the path of righteousness.

Here are the lyrics to the song:

I will never let the stone to praise the Lord.

I will never let the stone to praise him

I will never let the stone to praise the Lord.

I will rise and take my rightful place.

If stone should praise the Lord

oh oh, not in my time

If stone should praise the Lord,

oh oh, not when I live

If stone should praise the Lord

oh oh, not when I have my bread

I will rise and take my rightful place.

Search me, Lord and know my way

If there is evil an there

Lead me to everlasting life, I belong to you lord

Over and again, lord, I give you my life

Over and again, lord, I give you my soul

Over and again, over and again

I belong to you

Take my life and let it be

Consecrated Lord to thee

Take my moment and days

I belong to you, Lord.

Lead me to everlasting life, I belong to you, Lord.

Over and again, Lord, I give you my life

Over and again, Lord, I give you my soul

Over and again, over and again

I belong to you

In a world filled with hatred, evil, darkness and all sort of bad things, it is of great necessity that we "Watch and pray". I love your rendition Sis 💝

Psalm 139
I read this Bible portion yesterday

I love the combination of the song dear

This is my prayer everyday
Push me back, if I go astray

What a provoking original you composed, I love the lyrics so much... It is one of the things that many have neglected to think about.

Who should worship God? His own likeness. But we fail to do that, I hope God continue to give me the strength to be in His house until the end of time.

Lovely voice as always sis, well done and thanks for blessing us with this original ❤️
