Hive Open Mic, Week 146|| "Amanam" Cover by @emyekanem

Greetings everyone, I hope you all are doing great? I'm really glad to be a part of this week's presentation/performance. It actually looked like I wasn't going to be able to participate though, because of certain circumstances. But I thank God for giving me the grace and enablement.

The theme of this week which centers on, 'The Union actually got me singing the song, 'Amanam' by Progress Effiong. I did the song alone without any accompaniment or harmony because I could not reach my bassist friend, @dave-estates who usually gives me the vibe with his strings. Not only that. Everything happened this way because, during the week, I was hooked up with school activities. I'm happy I could still participate.

When I here the word, 'union', what comes to my mind is, the state of being united with or joined to something or somebody. It can also be referred to as a confederation, a consolidated body, or a league. I chose to render this song because it unites me with my God.

As you'll read on, you will get to see the lyrics of the song. It is a combination of English and Ibibio. The song praises and thanks God for everything that He has done, for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to come die on the cross of Calvary so that we all should be set free. The 'amanam' means, 'You have done it'. The song also thanks him for the healing and deliverance released on us whenever we are I'll. So, for everything that he has done and will do, we decide to raise our voice to sing that he has done it all for us.

Please sit tight and listen to the song and I hope you get to enjoy it😊😊
Thank you💋

We raise our hands to you
