Hello everyone, Hope you're doing well? Yeah, I feel so good to participate in this week's edition. Today, I will be doing a song cover by "Lara George, Titled Ijoba Orun* which means "Heaven " In English. It's a Yoruba language found in the southwest of Nigeria.

The Song is all about making heaven our goal. In everything we do, do we always carry out the will of God? How often do we give food to the hungry, shelter the homeless, and provide for the needy? These are some of the things we should not neglect because when we do so, a greater reward waiting for us. And we'll also make the world a comfortable place for all.

English Translation


Heaven is the believers reward
Heaven is the believers reward
Father, don't let me miss it, Take me home
Father, don't let me miss it, Take me home

The money I have
Can't take me there
The cars I've bought
Can't drive me there
The friends I have
Can't accompany me there
All the knowledge I've gained
Can't take me there

Father, Dont let me miss it
Take me home
That I would not fade away like smoke
Take me home
The earth is like a market place, heaven is home
Take me home
The earth my market place, heaven is home
Take me home
