LYRICS: Song For Dad

Never would a day go by
when I won’t say thank You Daddy
you are all I hope to be
thought me how to watch and pray
in you is the seat of wisdom,
pride, hope, integrity

And You taught me how to love
taught me How to pray
taught me how to Live.

                        You are my Hero (na na na na na na)
                        You are my Backbone (na na na na na na)
                        You’re the strength I hold on to (na na na na na na)
                        And I love you so much (na na na na na na)

Symbol of strength you are
you inspire who I’d be
to make You proud I can, I will
that be my one desire

And you nurtured all my strength
ridding all my flaws
just bring out the best in me

                       

                        You are my Hero (na na na na na na)
                        You are my Backbone (na na na na na na)
                        You’re the strength I hold on to (na na na na na na)
                        And I love you so much (na na na na na na)

No matter how old I be
I would always be the one you love
the one you would cuddle to sleep
No matter how old You be
You will always be the one I love
the one I look up to in life.

                        You are my Hero (Hero...)
                        You are my Backbone (Backbone...)
                        You’re the strength I hold on to (Hero...)
                        And I love you so much 

Thank you for loving me
thank you for giving me all you are…

POEM: Song For Dad

Father my source of identity
Cover of protection, Hand of provision
Is he the Song of Hope to lull on the bed of rue
or the voice of courage that says ‘’get up and move on’’ in the tub of wallow
Father, a plough bearing seeds of growth.

                     
                      Symbol of strength you are
                      Eyes for foresight beckoning caution
                      A Child’s first Hero; winning all evenings
                      The crown headed on Mother

When it’s all cool and dandy
Or in times of perplexity and choke
when the rod of discipline
and inculcation throws me off balance
from the same place is a voice to comfort and guide
Father, how mystical I find the role you play.

                       

                          
                        You run town when others run from town
                        Your name reigns through gates and clans
                         Father, father on whose back I see farther
                         Who can be Mother without a man

Whether you choose to
Or nature bestows you this grace,
the part of a Father is the role of a human god
with strength and rigour
on whose back I behold the view from the top
taking  me over every hurdle that once brought you down
and when babe says ‘’how did you get so charming’’?
I’d say: ‘’Daddy made me’’

SONG FOR DAD is a song that unravels the depths in the relationship between a child and his/her Dad. It shows the role of a father as a child's source of identity. I've come to realise that by default or not, we turn out to be just like or better than our Dads.

I hope you like it...and while you Listen, take time out to send a message of appreciation to Your dad this Father's Day.

Where I belong

So, i was super excited when Cory Asbury joined the Bethel Music team just recently, i loved him and his heart of worship from iHOP-KC. Cory has this deep relationship with God, and translates his encounter in the finest lyrics to sing.

One of his songs 'where i belong' ministers to me, and alot. He shared his song story with the Bethel team, and recorded an acoustic version at the Bethel Music studio.

Find below.

Blessings!

The song “Where I Belong” was birthed out of a time of spontaneous worship during a worship set at IHOP-KC. During this set, my team and I were singing and studying Psalm 84, a psalm of the sons of Korah centered on their desire for God’s presence.

 How beautiful are the places where You live, O Lord of all! My soul wants and even becomes weak from wanting to be in the house of the Lord. My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. -Psalm 84:1-2

This psalm speaks of God’s “dwelling place” or the “courts of the Lord.” As we were singing about wanting to be with Him where He is, the Lord began to speak to my wife, Anna, about finding belonging and acceptance in His presence. As she was struck with this revelation she began to sing the chorus “I’ve finally found where I belong…in Your presence…to be with You”. There was a tangible tenderness in the room as she sang this truth and I noticed many people really being touched by the Lord in this moment.As we continued to sing the chorus, the Lord started speaking to me that just as we enjoy His presence and long for His presence, He enjoys us and takes delight in us. It was this truth that sparked the chorus “I am my Beloved’s and He is mine, so come into Your garden and take delight in me.” I was blown away by the fact that God could delight in me despite my weakness and failure. His love and affection washed over us that evening in a really unique way that I will never forget. We sang those choruses for weeks and weeks before I crafted them into a song. As a worshipper and songwriter, I am deeply thankful for prophetic moments such as this.

#JoyInHope: Truth For Life Devotional

Are You Laughing?

And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me."
Genesis 21:6

It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honored with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to carry in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord Jesus. I, who once despaired, as well I might, for my nature was as dry and withered and barren and accursed as a howling wilderness, even I have been made to bring forth fruit unto holiness. Well may my mouth be filled with joyous laughter, because of the singular, surprising grace that I have received from the Lord, for I have found Jesus, the promised seed, and He is mine forever. Today I will sing psalms of triumph to the Lord who has remembered my low estate, for "my heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation."¹

My desire is that all those who hear of my great deliverance from hell and my most blessed visitation from heaven will laugh for joy with me. I want to surprise my family with my abundant peace; I want to delight my friends with my ever-increasing happiness; I want to edify the church with my grateful confessions, and even impress the world with the cheerfulness of my daily conversation.

Bunyan tells us that Mercy laughed in her sleep, and no wonder when she dreamed of Jesus; my joy should not be less than hers while Christ is the theme of my daily thoughts. The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy: My soul shall dive in and shall be swallowed up in the delights of His company. Sarah looked on Isaac and laughed without restraint, and all her friends laughed with her. And you, my soul, look on Jesus, and invite heaven and earth to unite in your unspeakable joy.
