Being back in the Hive Open Mic community to do a special presentation for this week's challenge makes me extremely delighted. Before I begin, I'd want to convey some tragic news about my college life. Since we resumed face-to-face sessions in January, I've seen a lot of unpleasant events and situations for which I am terribly sorry. We are shocked to hear that another student committed suicide due to depression. In reality, some students' situations are quite challenging, and I've heard that many people suffer from this form of mental illness. This week, I've been thinking a lot about the awful things that are occurring in my environment, and I've felt overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
I have days when I don't want to go to school. Sometimes I just want to sleep because it offers an escape from the harsh realities of my environment. For the time being, all that counts is that I am still alive and kicking. I am glad that God has given me the strength to persevere until now. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to graduate on time because of the peer pressure I'm getting from everyone, and I'm still managing to deal with my financial problems. Yet, as I already stated, I will remain determined as long as I am capable of waking up every day.
For the 150th challenge in this community, I would like to present to you the song Amazing Grace with another version. Actually, I already did a cover of this song, but today, the hymn got me attracted, and I wanted to present to you the other version of this song.
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
¡Gracia asombrosa! que dulce el sonido,
Eso salvó a un desgraciado; ¡como yo!
Una vez estuve perdido, pero ahora me han encontrado,
Era ciego, pero ahora veo.
Fue la gracia la que enseñó a mi corazón a temer,
y la gracia alivió mis temores;
Cuán preciosa parecía esa gracia
¡La hora en que creí por primera vez!
El Señor me ha prometido bien,
Su palabra asegura mi esperanza;
El será mi escudo y mi porción
Mientras dure la vida.
Cuando hayamos estado allí diez mil años,
Brillante brillando como el sol,
No tenemos menos días para cantar alabanzas a Dios
Que cuando empezamos.
I'd want to dedicate this song to everyone who is struggling physically, emotionally, or intellectually. I sympathize with how challenging life may be, but whenever possible, I want you to strive and draw strength from the individuals you cherish and care about. Please, all of you, commit to being kind every day. We encounter a lot of individuals throughout our life, and occasionally we always do vile things to them. Please constantly put ourselves in the shoes of others. Not everyone who always smiles is happy. Just be polite and remember to exhibit what is good in humanity.
