Hive Open Mic 🎤 Week 158 || Come to me ~ A cover song by Princessbusayo

Let's defeat the distance is another beautiful theme chosen for this week's hive open mic. In my understanding, this theme is talking about a situation where distance is kind of a barrier to communication or love between two or more people, and defeating it could only be subjected to uniting together and ignoring how far the distance may be. Another way to it is, though two people might be distant physically, but with the connection of the heart, they are defeating the distance while they keep the love flowing and growing more in them.

I searched for a song to relate to this theme, and most of you might notice I sing gospel more than any other genre of songs, and my favourite artists I pick songs are from Hillsong Worship and Bethel Music. Their songs are amazing ones that keep me focused and inspired especially being assured of God's promises and love.

I chose the song titled “Come to Me” by Jenn Johnson from Bethel Music which I found to relate well with the theme. The message in the song invites the listeners to come close to God no matter the distance between God and man. When we move closer to God, it is a channel of bridging the distance between us and the Most High. The only way where we can seek God's presence and His comfort is when we move closer to Him even when we are physically separated by distance or other hurdles.

Aside from that, the song talks about finding rest and peace in God´s warmth which can be seen as a way to overcome emotional distance or disturbance when we feel trouble, confusion or unrest in our mind. So, in all, Come to Me is a song that calls us into God´s embrace and overcoming whatever distance might separate us from enjoying His love and peace He has provided for us. Above all, to find the strength we need to face life´s challenges.

I hope you enjoy this rendition of mine.
