:
Today being Sunday makes it an extra special day, since it's also Father's Day. I'm really happy to be a father, and I'm feeling so grateful. That's why I want to dedicate this day to God.
One way I'll do that is by singing a meaningful song. The song is called "Ore Ofe Sha" which means "It is Just Grace" in English. It's by the artist Rotimi Keyz.
I'm thankful to be included in this week's creative writing prompt for Sunday. It feels fitting to express myself through words and music on this Father's Day.
The lyrics of "Ore Ofe Sha" perfectly capture the idea that life's blessings are not anything we deserve, but rather gifts from God's grace. As a father, I'm reminded that my family, my children, my life circumstances - these are all unmerited favors from our merciful God.
The song reminds us that whatever positive situation we find ourselves in, however good things may appear, it's all by God's grace. We can't take full credit for anything because it's God's divine grace that sustains us and provides for our needs.
By God's grace, I'm able to celebrate another Father's Day surrounded by my loved ones. His grace has helped me navigate life's ups and downs while watching my children grow. I've witnessed His grace in difficult seasons and in times of joy.
Singing this song is like a prayer of thanksgiving to the Almighty for His undeserved grace and favor over my life, despite any shortcomings or imperfections on my part. It's a powerful reminder that I'm incredibly blessed by God's grace.
Each lyric is so full of gratitude and reverence for our merciful Father. As I sing along, I'm moved to reflect on His grace enabling me to be a father myself. It's all by His marvelous grace that I'm able to experience fatherhood and nurture my children.
In the midst of the sweet melody, I also think about less fortunate circumstances - like families struggling without a father figure, or fathers dealing with impossible situations by God's grace. The lyrics become a source of hope and strength for them.
Perhaps that's why the song title, "Ore Ofe Sha," has such a poetic beauty in its simplicity. In our language, those words encapsulate the very essence of life being truly a gift of grace.
As I sing the words "Ore Ofe Sha" with each resounding note, I feel emboldened by the song's affirmation. Yes, my life story is merely one long record of God's unwavering grace upon grace sustaining me.
Singing these melodies awakens profound gratitude for His grace that overcomes all life's challenges through unbreakable joy, peace and hope. What could be more uplifting than basking in our merciful Father's divine grace?
The lyrics inspire me to wake up daily with a renewed spirit of thanksgiving for God's boundless grace. No matter what the day may bring, He will supply all I need by His grace alone.
On this Father's Day, "Ore Ofe Sha" serves as an empowering rallying cry about the supremacy and miracle of God's amazing grace over every detail of life - especially in fatherhood's honor and challenges.
As these grace-filled lyrics reverberate, their message is clear: each new day is a chance to humbly honor and steward the grace I've been given. By God's unmerited grace, I'm living my purpose and privilege to be a father. No wonder my soul longs to sing out "Ore Ofe Sha!".
Here are the lyrics :
If it had not been for your grace
Ore ofe sha ni mo ri gba ooo
If it had not been for your mercy
Anu sha ni Mori gba oo
Somebody say grace
Grace
Somebody say mercy
Mercy
