HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 166|| 'NEVER GIVE UP'|| FLUTE AND VOICE COVER OF 'LORD OF ALL HOPEFULNESS'

NEVER GIVE UP
The birds in the sky, in the forests and even the ones in the desert never give up as they keep searching for food each day, the grasses never give up even when it's harmattan period. They remain ever hopeful waiting for the the season of rain.

Our theme for this week 166 of #hiveopenmic is never give up. This beautiful theme is chosen by my very good friend and brother @ksam. Maybe I'm in the best position to explain the reason for the choice of this theme. Certain circumstances of life prompted him to choose this theme. Circumstances that present 1000 plus good reasons to give up in life and embrace despair so tightly. However, in the midst of these odds of life we never gave up and God did not give up on us. Today, we have more than a million reasons to encourage people never to give up or yield to despair. Dear friends, that is how life works sometimes, when we face certain disappointments in life, we are tempted to give up and remain at the peripheries of life. However, the theme of this week is to encourage everyone of us never to give up in life even when we think we are down to nothing. Let us always remember that when we think we are down to nothing that God is up to something. This should encourage us to ever remain hopeful and believe so strongly in God who never fails us. The people who have made certain inventions such as electricity, television, telephone, cars, etc failed countless times but they never gave up until they got it right. We too must keep pursuing our goals and let nothing affect our life's vision.

The title of my entry for this week is lord of all hopefulness. I hope you derive some meaning spending your time with me. cheers 🥂 🎶 🎹 🎵 🎻 🎤 🥁 🎷🎺🎸❤️❤️❤️

LYRICS
1 Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy:
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

2 Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe:
Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,
your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.

3 Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace:
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

4 Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm:
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.
