I Do Things That Bless Lives

This is the first post here.

The blog is dedicated to my songwriting activities. Writings are about the motivations and the inspirations for the songs. They will include lyrics and links to audio or video of such songs.

Starting, is a song that best describes my motivations and it is a form of my faith declaration. I want my writings to meet needs and they will. I Do things That Bless Lives is a song of affirmation and it will be a blessing to everyone who listens to or sings it.

The Lyrics


Verse 1

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer
I look up within to bring down the answer
I'm filled with the Spirit, of love and understanding
I'm filled with the mind of Christ
and I live to do greater works
greater works than all that has been done
till the world is filled with light
the light of God's glory

Chorus

I do things that bless lives
I do things that make men see the Light

Verse 2

My mouth like the hug of a caring mother
it instructs and guide like a loving father
I am the hands of the Spirit leading souls to the love of the Father
until they have the mind of Christ
and I live to do greater works
greater works than all that has been done
till the world is filled with light
the light of God's glory

Chorus 2

I write songs that bless lives
I sing songs that make men see the Light

*Do take note that in the demo, the second verse was sung as "my hands like the hug of a caring mother, they instructs and guide like a loving father".

My Worship

The chord progression has been laid and some rhythms are now in place and all that done rather effortlessly. I then realized that this sound must bless God and for a day or two I can't put down the right words to the sound. Everything that must honor and bless God acceptably must come from God Himself therefore I needed to trust God for the right words. For those who may not be familiar with the expression "evening sacrifice" as used in the song, it is an expression from Psalms 141 verse 2 " May the lifting of my hands be like the  evening sacrifice" (NIV) The Song Joseph Adegboye · My Worship The Lyrics Verse Let all my worship rise like the evening sacrifice my life being praise in response to your grace Chorus All my life will be worship worship worship giving glory to Jehovah the Alpha and Omega And everything within me sing...

Hope for Non-Singing Songwriters in Africa

This is an unusual blog, it is not following the usual pattern of previous posts. I am sharing a post from my facebook account and I do hope you find it meaningful. I have asked this question many times, since the days of audio cassettes. For every tape I bought there's a ritual:... Posted by Joseph Babatunde Adegboye on  Sunday, July 26, 2020

Heaven's Song

Behind the Song Have you ever dreamed of a place and you instinctively know it was heaven? Well, no matter the details of the vision or the imagination, it will still be at best a blind man's description of an elephant. This in essence is what this song is. It was indeed one of those tunes I often wake up with. I honestly have forgotten most of the details of the song except for the tune of the chorus which also is now a little different from what it was. I will never want to be a lazy man who does not roast the prey he gets from hunting, but I must admit that there have been occasions in the past where a lot of tunes have been missed.  Heaven's song was set in reggae style but it is meant to make you think about heaven occasionally. Few weeks ago, a man of God greeted me "Maranatha" and it felt nostalgic. This is not supposed to be so, we must never forget that "Our Lord Comes!" The Song  Remember that you can select "Listen in browser" if you do ...
