It’s another week again guys, here we go!!!
How’s it going famz? I hope y’all are doing great. You’re all welcome to hive open mic week #158 and it’s your very own boy vic2ryx. Before anything else, I just want to express my gratitude to the hive open mic community for putting these kinds of stuff together and also for their love and support towards creatives like us. Again, the theme of this week is tagged “Defeating the distance”.
In view of this theme, I’ll be performing a song or let me say a medley, and yea, I love medleys..lolz. This song is a combination of two hymnals and I’ll be doing it in my own acapella style. The title of the song is, “Beyond this Land of Parting and Sweet by and by.”
I chose this song for this theme because it's all about when we all return back home to where we belong. When we’ve all struggled,cried, sighed, passed through all forms of turmoil, there remains a hope that there is a land far beyond. We are all strangers here, this ain’t our home. There is a habitation waiting, well prepared for us.
So you how we do it guys, let’s vibe together!
Beyond this land of parting/Sweet by and by
Song Lyrics
There’s a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar
For the father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there
In the sweet, by and by
We shall meet on the beautiful shore
In the sweet, by and by
We shall meet on the beautiful shore
Ooh–ooh
Ooh-uuh
Verse 1:
Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving
Far beyond the loses darkening this, and
Far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies the summerland of bliss
Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss
Verse 2:
Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping
Far beyond the shadows darkening this, And
Far beyond the sighing, moaning, and weeping,
Lies the summerland of bliss
Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss (x2)
Verse 3:
Beyond this land of waiting, seeking, and sighing
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this, and
Far beyond the pain, and sickness, and dying
Lies the summerland of bliss
Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss
