A Hymn: The Good News
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 tonic 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, because I know music yea songs is one of the things that makes heart merry lifting hearts out of the cauldron of darkness that the enemies may have subjected people to and draws heart closer to God and his blessings.
Praying, hoping and trusting that you will be blessed with the song as you sing along with me and if you do not know the tune, I sincerely trust that God will bless your hearts, homes and all that is yours as you read the wordings of the newly composed song.
"Stand Up and Bless the Lord" Hymn
The Composed Song
1. Good news will make your heart
Gladdened and leap for joy
Just like the light of the eyes will
Give you a joyous heart
2. Good news is even like
A very cold water
Unto the soul that is thirsty
Nourishing, quenching his thirst
3. Good news is news of peace
The news of victory
That is announced to people of God
That their God is the King
4. The news of salvation
The news of deliverance
The news to heal the brokenhearted
Is good news to the poor
5. The good news is this that
Jesus Christ the Son of God
Even was manifested on earth
To take away our sins
6. The good news is this that
Jesus Christ the Son of God
Even was manifested on earth
To destroy the devil’s works
7. The good news is this that
Jesus Christ is the love of God
Who has been sent into the world
That we might ‘ven live through him
8. Jesus is the good news
Which when heard makes heart glad
For he is the expressed image
Of Yahweh the invisible God
