This song
was recorded over a year ago but I do not think it is more relevant to our
nation than now. I personally lost 2 close friends and several known people in
the Dana aircraft that crashed in Lagos on Sunday the 3rd of June
The song was
written four years before it was recorded. At a point in my life when it was
really difficult to make ends meet. Those were days I will walk distances to
save N5.00 so to buy a sachet of “pure water” to drink Garri.
Those days
were real to me. The lack was real. But then I will not let anything take my
praise away. My expectation was great. More real than what I was experiencing,
my hope for a better tomorrow overwhelms the lack I was going through
On Sunday
June 3rd, some 153 very important people left us, a 153 that linked the whole
of the country together, we did not know how closely linked to one another we
were until these 153 people let us. To the departed, we need to let you know we
love you dearly and we will miss you all. No matter how we try, a lot of things
can never be the same again without you.
The best way
to go on from here is to encourage ourselves that our friends live on and they
actually do. Let us make sure that all the dreams and aspirations we shared
together live on. They might not be here with us physically but let them live
on in our hearts. We need to see that their hopes and desires do not die, let
us work it out like we will give an account to them when we see
The best is
yet to come…if you lost a friend that left behind children, make sure you see
to it that those kids do well… that is the best that we hope for!!
I have been
to too many funerals and service of songs and you will agree with me that all
the gloomy and sad looking faces will transform to ‘normal’ once we step out of
the funeral environment! Life continues…
For all of
us, we definitely will miss our friends and loved ones but I need us all to
know that the best days are still ahead.
Listen and Watch Video Below:
As long as we
have the breath of God in us we will yet get the best from life. We will not
lose hope, we will not cast off restraint, we will not give up…..
Let us get
up, let us make the right decisions because we could all be vulnerable at this
time, let us be very vigilant as there are some opportunist that might want to
use this situation against us and for their own selfish ends…
Though
the promises do not come
And
the light refuses to shine
Though
the rains and dew are held back
And
the ground refuses to yield
Praise
the Lord
Everything
within me bless His name
I
rejoice in pain
Victory
will come
Jesus
calms the storms
The best is yet to come I believe
