Afritunes Week 33 || I Still Choose To Worship You By Cobhams (cover)

Hello friends in the Afritunes community🥳🥳. It's week 33 and another lovely weekend. It's my first entry and I'm super excited.

I've always tried to make entries but somehow, providence wouldn't permit until this day! Even this one, my eye don see shege on top this song 🤧😂, thank God for good friends.

This is one song I've know for a long time and have always wanted to do. In his live performance, Cobhams mentioned the quality of us learning to give thanks even in the most difficult situations. This day two years ago, Nigeria was in an uproar. The whole country was in mourning and it'll forever resonate in our minds. Tales of that day will be told to unborn children. Despite this, we learn to be grateful even in the most dreariest of situations.

Lyrics

Have you read the papers do you hear what they say
Rising unemployment cost of living everyday
Is getting high
Another suicide bomber in a bus with thirteen kids
It kinda makes me wonder what those children ever did

Yet we still go to church
And sing shout to the Lord
And we lift up holy hands and we're reading His word
Now am sitting by my piano with nothing to play
But that doesn't change the fact that God is God anyway

So I sing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Hear my humble cry see my broken spirit
But in every situation
I'll still choose to worship You uuu

Please forgive me this is not your normal worship song
I try to write a simple song that me and everyone can sing along
But i realize that there is something about praise
It shouldn't only come when all is seemingly okay
So when you start to cry like your life is a mess
Don't be scared don't be discouraged
It is only a test
Why don't you lift up your voice to the ears of your God
And release sweet smelling savor from your alabaster box

Singing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Though the flowers die see the branches whither
But when troubles multiply
I'll still choose to worship You uuu

I worship You Almighty God
What a mighty God we serve
Who is there like You Jesus
Lover of my soul
Only God to whom all praise is due
Blessed be the
He will make a
You are highly oooo ooo

Bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanksgiving

Singing bless ye the Lord
Through my trials and all my troubles
I have come with a heart of worship
For the gift of Your Son
For the grace to fight my battles
I have come to You with thanks giving

Hear my humble cry see my broken spirit
But in every situation
I'll still choose to worship You
Only You
