A Song: Uphold Me Precious Lord
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
Composer’s Foreword
It is a known fact we are given birth to one day and we shall die one day.
However as Christians we know that the world is the habitation of wickedness, (Psa. 74:20). Therefore, believers need to always look upward to Jehovah for assistance and to be uphold by them to sail through the world peacefully.
It is for this purpose that this has been composed. However, 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.
But I am not mimicking any hymn in this composition, I have recorded the Tune received on Video, posted to YouTube, and would share here, trusting that some good musicians would modify the tune and perhaps the wordings of the song for the benefit of Humanity and the proclamation of the gospel.
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.
“It is being recorded and the link from the YouTube is shared here for easy grasps and needful modifications.”
A Song: Uphold Me Precious Lord
The Composed Song
Leader/Solo
It’s the person that you uphold
That enemies will not overcome
It’s the person that you uphold
That lives a triumphant life on the earth
I beseech thee precious Lord
Have mercies on me thy servant
Uphold me with your right hand
Let me not be prey to enemies
(Instrumentalists)
Chorus
Leader/Solo
The world is full of evil
Yea is a sea full of wickedness
Without your help dear Lord
No one can swim even to the shore
I’m in your hands precious Lord
See me through the sea of the world
Help me Lord ‘cause I’m yours
Let not the evil ones ‘vercome me
(Instrumentalists)
Chorus
Leader/Solo
All men look wonderful
But all men’s hearts only you can see
Flesh has covered all souls
But intents of men ‘re not hidden from you
Save me oh my blessed Lord
From the wolves that appeared as the sheep
It’s only you that know them
Oh my Lord save me from wicked ones
(Instrumentalists)
Chorus
Leader/Solo
It’s the ones you uphold
That the people of the world can see
It’s the ones you uphold
That lives a successful life on earth
Uphold me my precious Lord
I ‘ve handed all my life unto you
Uphold me my precious Lord
Let me triumph over my enemies
(Instrumentalists)
Chorus
Leader/Solo
Meet with my daily needs
So that I ‘ll not beg for bread in the world
Bestow thy peace on me
So that I ‘ll live a contented life
Remove very far from me
Vanities and lies in the world
Supply every of my needs
So that I ‘ll always praise your name
(Instrumentalists)
Chorus
