Hello everyone. Warm greetings to you all. I hope you're doing well and feeling inspired. It’s always a joy to be part of Hive Open Mic, and I’m so grateful to share in this amazing space once again for Week 267. Being among this creative and supportive Hive family truly means a lot to me.
This week’s theme is “Fragrance” and for my entry, I chose to cover a powerful worship song by Dunsin Oyekan titled “First It Was Fragrance.”
This song speaks deeply to my spirit. It reminds me of how worship starts as a sincere offering to God like a sweet fragrance rising up and then becomes something even greater. When God receives it, it turns into fire, a symbol of His presence, power, and response to our devotion.
The way the song builds musically is so moving. It draws you into a place of awe and surrender, and for me, it's more than just a song. it’s an experience, a moment of deep connection with God.
I pray this piece blesses you as much as it has blessed me. Thank you for listening, and may your week be filled with the sweet fragrance of worship and a renewed sense of God’s presence.
Lyrics (musixmatch.com)(https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Dunsin-Oyekan/Fragrance-to-Fire)
The fragrance of my worship
Rose up to the Father
Noises, thunderings, earthquakes
Were the response to my worship
The fragrance of my worship
Rose up to the Father
Noises, thunderings, lightnings
Were the response to my worship
chorus
First it was fragrance
Then it turned to fire
My worship is my weapon
This is how I win my battle (this is how I win my battle)
First it was fragrance
Then it turned to fire, hey
My worship is my weapon
This is how I win my battle (this is how I win my battle)
Everybody say the fragrance of my -
bridge
This is how I win, win, win
This is how I win
The smoke of my worship released upon the earth
Ah-ah
This is how I win, win, win
This is how I win
The smoke of my worship
The smoke of my worship released upon the earth
