You Don't Care


The cross is the evidence of the ultimate love of God for His creations,  especially man.

The song "You Don't Care" is my version of contextualizing a line from the old school song lyrics "Eni ti won tori e na mi, ni n o pada fe"  (Adeolu Akinsanya) translated "the person over whom I was beaten is the one I'm going to marry"  within the love of God portrayed by the passion of the Christ. "You Don't Care" imposed the idiom "I don't care" on the attitude of Jesus to the pain He suffered just because of us.

There are three major players in this song: the Pharisees of Jesus' day, Jesus and those who were touched by Jesus. The listener is actively in the last category since the song is written as a narration of someone whom Jesus Christ loves.

The Pharisees didn't care about the blind man, the woman caught in adultery nor about the man bedridden for 38 years but they had issues with Jesus' care and love for these people. I am one of such persons that Jesus loves. He suffered for my sake too and did not care that He would be hated, beaten and cursed for my sake. Till date, Jesus Christ is still being hated on and being cursed because of all He did and is doing for my sake, but you know what, the actions of the jealous and haters did not move Him and cannot move Him to change His mind about me. When the devil brings an accusation against me, Jesus Christ simply says "I don't care".

My Worship

Photocredit: Dodji Djibom Behind the Song It's been a while I wrote a groovy song and I wanted a somewhat happy song this time. 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

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 ...
