I thought this week would just go like the others where I had rough days which made me unable to participate in the weekly Hive Open Mic edition, but on the second day of the week when I saw the theme, I decided to squeeze myself in and present my entry. At last, I did something after going through my playlist finding a song that could suit the theme for week 199, titled "Brasil" but found none. This is all about going all the way from Nigeria to Brazil and I saw it as another way to explore other country's music.
After searching for long on YouTube, I settled for this particular one which also sounds easy to rehearse and do something amazing. I chose the song titled "We Believe" by a Brazilian music artist — Leonardo Gonçalves. I so much enjoyed singing this song while doing some rehearsals and coming up with a cover version for it. I worked on this song while at work because I knew there wouldn't be time for me to do that at home. I practised at work and came home to present it with my laptop which I used to play the instrumental beat while my phone was used in recording.
The song teaches that we should keep on believing in the Trinity — God the Father, Son and Holy Spirt amidst trials and temptations. In a world where desperation of all sorts has kicked in, there is the broken generation, but the only foundation and salvation we have is to believe in God who can make a way for us. In a world where many things have taken different stages and it seems we wouldn't be able to persevere, especially with issues with high inflation, kidnappings, crime rate etc, the song is a reminder to keep believing in God while hoping that things would be well for us again.
The lyrics also acknowledge the challenging times that are filled with doubt, despair, fear and uncertainty. Despite these circumstances, we are made to know through the song that there is a steadfast belief in Jesus Christ as our saviour to bring deliverance to His people. There is also a need for our faith to keep standing strong and not waver in believing in the power of the Holy Spirit who brings new life and hope to believers in times like this.
This is the song that reminds us that having solid faith and believing in the Trinity can help us overcome difficulties and guide us in a life filled with love and joy. I hope you find peace in your soul while listening to this powerful song.
