A Hymn: In Me is Rest Indeed

Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days

Composer’s Foreword

I do not know how to put my composed words into tunic solfa format, but having learnt however remotely how to compose songs using local Yoruba format, I decide to come with a work around on how to make my songs internationally acceptable, therefore, I have been mimicking some hymns which I believe anyone who knows how to sing such hymn globally would be able to sing along with me my composed song using the tune that I have used beneath.

Having said this, I sincerely invite you to join me in singing this newly composed song.

Thanks.

The Composed Song

1. Jesus hath said this unto them

That I am the way and the truth

Yea truly I am also the life

Except me no one gets to Father

Refrain:

And ye shall know even the truth/3x

And the truth shall set you free

2. If you know me you have known the Father

‘Cause my Father dwelleth in me

I am one even with my Father

Through me you can get to God

Refrain:

3. He that sent me also is with me

He never leaves me alone

For I always do things pleasing to Him

Therefore he loveth me

Refrain

4. As I live by Father who sent me

So will anyone who eats me

For they shall also live ‘ven by me

For am bread that came from heaven

Refrain

5. Come ye to me all ye that labor

And are heavily laden

If ye come I will give thee my rest

For in me is rest indeed

Refrain
