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
