A Hymn: There is Only One God
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
It has been stated that the only constant thing in the world is change.
The people living in Yoruba land have been composing and singing without notes before but the wave of changes swept across the land as musicians started introducing tonic solfa into the songs they were singing.
But having not known tonic solfa, and have discovered that I have the talent of composing songs, I have divided to have a work around the conundrum to make my songs internationally acceptable.
Based on the above ipsofacto, if anyone knows the songs I have mimic in composing this song either remotely or otherwise such a one can join me in singing the song.
This would make the person to gravitate from the level of reading the wordings of the songs to humming and singing the song.
The Composed Song
1. Jesus when he was led to wilderness
He said that there is only one God
There he was tempted even by the devil
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
There is only One God, there is only one God
Apart from him there is no other God
There is only one God, there is only one God
Apart from him there is no other God
2. After he fasted for forty days an' night
He said that there is only one God
He was hungry and then the tempter came
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
3. The tempter said if thou be son of God
He said that there is only one God
Command these stones that they be turned to bread
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
4. Jesus replied man 'll not live by bread alone
He said that there is only one God
But by every word that comes from God's mouth
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
5. Tempter again said cast even thyself down
He said that there is only one God
For He 'll command the angels to protect thee
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
6. Jesus again while replying even the tempter
He said that there is only one God
Thou shall not tempt even the Lord thy God
He said that there is only one God

7. On the highest mountain devil showed him
He said that there is only one God
The kingdoms of theworld and their glories
He said that there is only one God

He said that there is only one God
Fall down and worship me an' they 'll be yours
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
9. Jesus rebuked him to get behind him
He said that there is only one God
'Cause only the Lord thy God must you worship
He said that there is only one God

10.There is only one body and one Spirit
He said that there is only one God
One Lord, one faith, yea and one baptism
He said that there is only one God
Chorus

He said that there is only one God
Let brotherly love be with dissimulation
He said that there is only one God
Chorus
