Hello everyone, I welcome you all to Hive Openmic Community, week #202, It's your girl @adyma, for this week, I will be doing a song titled "Book of life"

This is a song written by Nathaniel Bassey one of the popular gospel musicians, I see this song as a direct message from God of which Nathaniel Bassey turns it into a story and to a song.

It talks about a man that slept and woke up in an unfamiliar land, this land was a border town that leads to where he was to get a crown. He saw an Angel who was in charge of the book of life, they flipped through the pages of this book but couldn't find his name.

He said "Mr Angel where is my name, I'm a pillar in my local church, giving offerings, tithes and feed the poor" But he told him "unforgiveness lurks within your heart, lies and secret faults", this brother wondered.

Some people say "man die go" there is no such statement in the scripture, on the judgement day you will give an account of how you spent your life on earth.

Some of us give the best offering, preach the word of God, sing the best part in choir and some of us are the best instrumentalist in church, when you start feeling pompous God does not lack another to replace you.

As Christians are we free from unforgiveness, lies and secret faults? We might see it as a little sin saying "after all I have not killed before" my beloved brethren there is no small or big sin in the sight of God, "all sins are equal"
I plead that God gives us the grace to work on his part. Amen.

Song lyrics

This is the story of a brother
Who slept and woke up in Foreverland
He looked around, nothing's familiar
He wondered how he got to be there
He took a walk around the city
And saw this brick house with a small door
He walked into the room and saw a man in white
Must be an angel so he said:
"Mr. Angel I'm a stranger, don't know what's going on
The last thing I remember was I slept last night"
