Hello hive Afritunes, I welcome you all to week 42 of Afritunes event. My name is @jesus-son. I will be doing a cover of the song 'This God is too good' by the Nigerian musician, Nathaniel Bassey.
My love for the song is firstly because it talks about the goodness of God who continues to attend to us despite our laxities. God is ever faithful despite our unfaithfulness. He loves us even when we didn't care and patiently waited till we came back to him. The mission of Jesus on earth is a clear example of God's love for us.
For me the song is a reminder of how much God has loved me unconditionally and a question of how I am to reciprocate that love. God does not demand much from me, He only wants me to be close to him and worship him. Not that my worship adds anything to him but for my own edification. Thus I am the beneficiary of my own act of praise to God.
Secondly, I love the man Nathaniel Bassey, he sings in a way that highly motivates me. The way he also plays the trumpet intrigues me a lot, in fact I want to be like him and even surpass him. He is my mentor.
I hope you will enjoy the music as I try to sing it in my own way with my keyboard. Thank you for coming around.
Lyrics..
I know a God, who's merciful and kind
Faithful and gracious
I'm the apple of his eyes
The thought that fills his heart
Every Morning, noon and night
He loved me when I didn't care
And was patient till I came
Running back into his arms
Look how he turned my life around
Made me a shining star
His glory to reveal
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
Don't look too far to see
How good he is, just look at me
He took me from the miry clay
Set my foot upon the rock
I'm standing in his righteousness
He took away my sin and shame
Gave me a brand new name
His beloved and the redeemed
Look how he turned my life around
Made me a shining light
His glory to reveal
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
Jesus you're too good oh
Jesus you're too much oh
His grace is too much oh
His love is so deep oh
I don't deserve you
(I don't deserve you)
But I am grateful
(Always)
I don't deserve it
(No no)
But you love me anyway
So I worship you forever
Love you forever
This God is too good oh
Look what you've done for me
See how you set me free
How you washed me in your precious blood Jesus
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
I will worship Him forever
Love Him forever because
This God is too good oh
You are too good oooh
He's so good Jesus
You're too good oh
Wonderful
Glorious Jesus
