In the realm of gospel music, few names resonate as profoundly as Steve Crown's. An artist of immense talent and devotion, Steve Crown has consistently enriched the lives of many with his heartfelt worship anthems. His song, "You are Yahweh," stands as a testament to his profound connection with spirituality and his gift of uplifting souls through music.

"You are Yahweh" is more than a song; it's a divine encounter set to music. With its angelic melodies and powerful lyrics, it transcends boundaries and brings worshippers to their knees in reverence. The song's title alone, "You are Yahweh," exalts the name of the Almighty, inviting listeners into a sacred space of adoration and praise.

For me, singing "You are Yahweh" is not merely a performance; it's a spiritual journey. The song's timeless message of God's majesty, sovereignty, and unfailing love resonates deep within my soul. Each note I sing carries a prayer, a declaration of faith, and a profound connection to something greater than myself. This worship hit by Steve Crown has the power to touch hearts and inspire a deeper connection with the divine.

As I perform "You are Yahweh" in the Afri-Tunes community contest, I am humbled by the opportunity to share in this remarkable piece of worship with others. Steve Crown's musical ministry has a way of uniting people in praise, and I am honored to be a vessel for this transcendent message of faith and devotion.

In Steve Crown's music, I find a source of inspiration, a wellspring of hope, and a reminder of the eternal truth that "You are Yahweh." This is why I am deeply drawn to this worship hit, and I look forward to sharing its profound beauty with the Afri-Tunes community in week #86.

Lastly, I'm sorry this is coming late guys…Greetings 2 everyone in the Afri-tunes community…It’s your boy vic2ryx.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Hive Open Mic community,

Y’all welcome to Hive Open Mic week 183 and it's so good to be back.

I stand before you today with a heart full of gratitude, an apology, and a song that has the power to resonate with us all. First and foremost, I'd like to extend my sincerest apologies for submitting my entry late this week. Life sometimes takes unexpected turns, but I'm thrilled to be here now, ready to share a musical journey with all of you.

The theme "Hasta la Vista" urges us to embrace farewells, to find the beauty in goodbyes, and the bittersweet moments they encompass. It brings to mind a song that has been etched into the souls of many, including mine. "Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith is a masterclass in storytelling through song, a melody that tugs at our heartstrings, and lyrics that resonate with the deepest corners of our emotions.

Why have I chosen to perform this enchanting masterpiece? Well, for one, Sam Smith's soul-stirring voice captures the essence of love, loss, and vulnerability like no other. This song, in particular, touches upon the very human experience of shielding ourselves from heartbreak, of becoming "too good at goodbyes." It's a testament to the power of music to convey the universal emotions that connect us all.
So, as we embark on this musical journey together, let us celebrate the magic of this song, the theme of our shared experiences, and the spirit of togetherness within our remarkable community. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you find this performance as enthralling and captivating as I do.
With that said, let the music commence, and may it resonate in your hearts as it does in mine.

First and foremost, let me tell you how absolutely thrilled I am to be back doing what I love. You know, life occasionally tosses you into its whirlwind of other engagements, but music remained my North Star. And now, I'm back on stage with more enthusiasm than ever. I hope this time I won’t disappear again, smiles….

During my little absence, I couldn't help but feel a tug on my heartstrings. I missed every single one of you – the talented singers, the passionate listeners, and the ever-encouraging audience. Afri-tunes is not just a community; it's a melody-packed home, and it feels great to be back home.
Now, let's talk tunes! This week, I've got something extra special in store for you all. I'll be performing "Darling Jesus" by the incredible Nigerian sensational artiste, Neeja. Trust me; this song is like a warm, musical hug for your soul.

Let's make this week's entry unforgettable, filled with melodies, laughter, and a whole lot of love. Thank you for welcoming me back with open arms, and I can't wait to share the stage with all you talented folks.
With a heart full of music and a dash of humor,
Vic2ryx.

This hymnal gem perfectly aligns with the theme of the week: "Hopeful." As I reflect on the lyrics and melodies, I'm reminded of the unwavering foundation upon which my hope stands. It's a reminder that even in the midst of life's storms, our faith remains steadfast.

I chose to sing this song because the song itself brings immense comfort and strength during challenging times. Its timeless message and beautiful harmonies touch my soul in ways I can't fully express. I hope it will touch your hearts too.

To my fellow community members, I want you to know how much I've missed you all. The Hive Open Mic community feels like home, and witnessing our rapid growth in the Hive space fills my heart with joy. Let's continue to support and uplift one another as we embark on this incredible journey together.

@vic2ryx

Hey Afri-tunes fam! It's been a while since I last shared my musical journey with you all, and I've truly missed this vibrant community! 🌟

Today, I'm thrilled to present a song that holds a special place in my heart: "Too Faithful" by the incredibly talented Moses Bliss. 🎵

This captivating track resonates with me on a deep level, reminding me of God's unwavering faithfulness through life's ups and downs. The heartfelt lyrics and uplifting melodies never fail to touch my soul.

I chose to sing "Too Faithful" because it perfectly encapsulates my personal experiences and reflects the unshakable hope I have in God's love and guidance. It's a powerful anthem of gratitude and trust that I believe will resonate with each one of you.

On a side note, I can't help but express my excitement witnessing how rapidly we're growing as a community here in the hive space. The support and love we share is truly remarkable. Let's continue to nurture our passion for African music and elevate it to new heights together!

I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share more beautiful tunes. Stay tuned for more musical adventures!

With love and joy,
@vic2ryx 🎶🌍🔥

Greetings, fellow members of Hive Open Mic! Is your boy, vic2ryx with another banger guys.As we gather here to celebrate the power of music and self-expression, I bring you a heartfelt song that perfectly aligns with this week's theme chosen by our own talented spotlight artist @maryjacy, "Be okay." Prepare to embark on a transformative journey as I present to you the soul-stirring melody of "Fix You" by Coldplay.

"Fix You" resonates deeply with the idea of finding solace and healing amidst life's trials and tribulations. Through its poignant lyrics and uplifting melodies, this timeless anthem reminds us that it's okay to feel broken, lost, or in need of repair. It serves as a gentle reminder that we all experience moments of darkness, but we possess the strength to emerge from them, stronger and wiser than before.

This song holds a profound personal connection for me. Its lyrics have served as a guiding light during my own challenging times, providing solace and inspiring hope. With each verse, "Fix You" embraces the universal longing for comfort, compassion, and understanding. It encapsulates the resilience of the human spirit and offers a gentle reassurance that, no matter the circumstances, we can find the strength within ourselves to heal and persevere.

So, as you immerse yourself in the tender melodies of "Fix You," I invite you to open your hearts and allow its soothing embrace to wash over you. May this song serve as a reminder that it's okay to be vulnerable, to seek support, and to journey towards finding peace within ourselves. Together, let's celebrate the transformative power of music and embrace the beauty of being okay.

🎶 Let the music begin, and let it heal our souls. 🌟

First of all, I’m so sorry this is coming late guys..lolz but better late than never they say.

I am thrilled to share with you a song that holds a special place in my heart: "This God is Too Good" by the incredibly talented Nathaniel Bassey. "This God is Too Good" carries an extraordinary power that transcends words. Its gentle yet commanding rhythm effortlessly guides me into a state of introspection and gratitude. With each verse and chorus, Nathaniel Bassey's soul-stirring vocals and the uplifting instrumentation weave together to create a tapestry of pure devotion.

What sets this song apart is its ability to capture the essence of the divine relationship. It beautifully reminds me of the overwhelming goodness, mercy, and boundless love of God.

This song just takes me to a whole new dimension..Just so powerful…I’ll be singing this song in mine own style and way and I hope y’all would love it. So, guys, you know how we do it…Let’s go!!!

This God is Too Good Lyrics

For this week's entry, I’ll be performing Chidinma’s glorious song “Jehovah Overdo.” Mehnn the first time I heard this song I was like woahh… She was flawless in the song..So, I’ll be doing a cover of that song in acappella style.

You know how we do it guys, let’s go!!!

Jehovah Overdo

Hello famz! How’re y’all doing? I guess you guys are rockin' and that’s super cool. It’s your boy vic2ryx and you are all welcome to hive open mic week 160. The theme for this week is termed “Fraternity.” Listen, guys, when I saw the theme I was like woahhh!!!.

The reason for that exclamation is the fact that in Africa, Nigeria to be precise, the term fraternity has some negative connotation or vibe to it. It is like a boogey, cultish stuff..Lolz…You get what I’m saying right…But fraternity doesn’t need to have such a negative vibe… It also has a positive spin to it.

Fraternity can also mean a group of persons with shared goals, interests, and visions. People who are fighting for a common course...So, in this sense, we can say that Hive open mic community is a fraternity..We all are here sharing our music cuz that’s what we do.

In view of the theme, I’ll be performing a short hymnal titled “Blest be the tie that binds.” It is a Christian hymnal that talks about the bond we share as a Christian family..This song is often rendered before the closing prayer, reminding everyone that we have a common interest. There’s a tie that binds us and whatever that connection may be, it is blessed.

Song Lyrics

Blest be the tie that binds,
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above.

Before our father’s throne,
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts, and our cares

We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for, each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still, be joined in heart
And hope to meet again...

What a nice theme from our spotlight artist @jesus-son..My real G… In view of this theme, I’ll be performing a song titled “Good Good Father.” by Chris Tomlin. I chose this song because is a song that speaks to me in every way… It’s about the relationship God has with me, us.

He’s not just a good good father, but also a good friend…God is good all the time. That’s just who he is. So you know how we roll guys, Let’s Go!!!

Espanol

Es una hermosa semana, chicos. ¿Cómo están todos? Soy su chico @vic2ryx y les doy la bienvenida a Hive Open Mic Week 159. El tema de esta semana es "Un buen amigo".

Qué bonito tema del artista destacado @jesus-son... Mi amigo de verdad... En vista de este tema, interpretaré una canción titulada "Buen Buen Padre" de Chris Tomlin. Elegí esta canción porque habla de mi relación con Dios en todos los sentidos.

Él no es solo un buen buen padre, sino también un buen amigo... Dios es bueno todo el tiempo. Así que ya saben cómo hacemos, ¡Vamos!

I know this is a music-loving community and I’m so glad to share my music with y’all. If you want to know more about me and my style of music, I’ll leave a link to my musical performances in other communities below but for now, I’ll be performing a song titled “King of my Heart” by Kutless, and I’ll be doing it in acapella style guys.

This is a song I love so much as it speaks to my soul on different levels. Jesus is the king of my heart and he is my song. I’m grateful for all he has done for me and he’s the reason why I sing.

I promise that this will be a vibe. You know how we do it guys, let’s go!!!

King of my Heart

Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song

You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh
You are good, good, oh

Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song

You are good, good, oh-oh
You are good, good, oh-oh
Yes, you are good, good, oh-oh
You are good, good, oh-oh

You're never gonna let, You're never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let, You're never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let, You're never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let, You're never gonna let me down

You are good, good, oh-oh
You are good, good, oh-oh
When the night is holding on to me,
You’re holding on
When the night is holding on to me,
You’re holding on
You are good, you’re good, oh-oh
You are good, good, oh-oh

Hello guys, how’s it going people? Welcome to singing voice week #63, and is your boy vic2ryx. I want to say that I'm so glad to be here doing what I love most. This is actually my first time and, by implication, my first entry into the Pukumundo community. I have been following this community just recently and I have a lot of friends in here killing it and bringing much vibes into the community.

I have decided to at least show-up and drop some music stuff from time to time and at this moment I’ll be singing a song from Billie Eilish's album. The title of the song is “Lovely.”

I was never a fan of Billie Eilish because I thought she was just one of those over-hyped song artists. I never could be more wrong. This song changed my mind immediately. Billie’s song “Lovely” has over 1.2 billion views on youtube. She’s just so incredibly talented. She featured the famous Khalid in this song and I can’t lie, they blew my mind away.

Most importantly, when I knew the song was all about fighting depression, it made me love it more…

So with that being said, I’ll be covering her song and doing it in acapella style, guys. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Lovely
Song lyrics

Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way
But you never go away
So I guess I gotta stay now

Oh, I hope someday I’ll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can’t find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can’t fight my fear

Isn’t it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

Walkin’ out of time
Looking for a better place,
Something’s on my mind
Always in my head space.

But I know some day I’ll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can’t find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can’t fight my fear

Isn’t it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home…

In view of this theme, I’ll be performing a song or let me say a medley, and yea, I love medleys..lolz. This song is a combination of two hymnals and I’ll be doing it in my own acapella style. The title of the song is, “Beyond this Land of Parting and Sweet by and by.”

I chose this song for this theme because it's all about when we all return back home to where we belong. When we’ve all struggled,cried, sighed, passed through all forms of turmoil, there remains a hope that there is a land far beyond. We are all strangers here, this ain’t our home. There is a habitation waiting, well prepared for us.

So you how we do it guys, let’s vibe together!

Beyond this land of parting/Sweet by and by

Song Lyrics

There’s a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar
For the father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there

In the sweet, by and by
We shall meet on the beautiful shore
In the sweet, by and by
We shall meet on the beautiful shore

Ooh–ooh
Ooh-uuh
Verse 1:
Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving
Far beyond the loses darkening this, and
Far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies the summerland of bliss

Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss

Verse 2:
Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping
Far beyond the shadows darkening this, And
Far beyond the sighing, moaning, and weeping,
Lies the summerland of bliss

Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss (x2)

Verse 3:
Beyond this land of waiting, seeking, and sighing
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this, and
Far beyond the pain, and sickness, and dying
Lies the summerland of bliss

Chorus:
Land beyond so fair and bright
Land beyond where is no night
Summerland God is its light, O
Happy summerland of bliss

Onise Iyanu Lyrics

Oh
Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh
Ooh-oh (x2)

Onise Iyanu
You’re the God of awesome wonders
I’ve tasted of your power
Onise Iyanu
You’ve shown me so much mercy
Much more than I deserve

My eyes have seen, my ears have heard
The wonders of your praise
Creation bows in awe of you
And we join to give you praise

The words you speak, turns things around
Your outstretched arm
Has lifted me
You took away the chains and curse
That held me bound

Onise iyanu
You’re the God of awesome wonders
I’ve tasted of your power
Onise Iyanu
You’ve shown me so much mercy
Much more than I deserve

Omniscient, Omnipotent
The one who does great things
When I behold the things you do
I just can't hold back my praise

The words you speak, turns things around
Your outstretched arm
Has lifted me
You took away the chains and curse
That held me bound

Onise iyanu
You’re the God of awesome wonders
I’ve tasted of your power
Onise Iyanu
You’ve shown me so much mercy
Much more than I deserve

Full lyrics..

Thanks for your support guys…One love.
