Hive Open Mic 126 - Trusting In The Process: Redemption Song.

This is week 126 and the theme is "Trusting In The Process". For those who want to jump in on this too, here is your chance: [🎵 Hive Open Mic 126 - Worldwide Live Music Event]

I love this theme because it is relatable with life. We can't ignore the process in life. Lines upon lines, precept upon precepts... That's what life is all about. When we ignore the process we usually leave ourselves vulnerable and undone because the process brings about strength, resilience and capacity building. Imagine gold not going through the process of fire...not withstanding the rigour of the process, it would come out undone and unfurnished. Life is like that most time. Whatever you are going through, keep pushing, as long as you don't let the foot off the gas, you can be very sure it would pay off in the end.

Follow through the process, stop seeking for the short cuts because it has cut a lot of lives and potentials short too. Trust in the process, go through with it and build capacity while going through it. It won't always be pretty but it's going to be worth it as long as we have the indomitable will never to give up no matter how hard it gets.

The song I picked for this week that goes with the theme of the week is:

Artist: "Bob Marley and the Wailers"
Title: "Redemption Song"

Lyrics:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
