Greetings everyone 🙌🏾
I’m excited to be here once again for Hive Music Festival Week 164, Round 2. It’s always a joy to return to this wonderful space where music, creativity, and inspiration come together. For this week’s entry, I present a cover song titled “You Are”, written by Ron Kenoly
This song is a powerful and heartfelt declaration that speaks deeply about the nature and character of God. “You Are” is not just a song; it’s a personal confession of faith, trust, and total dependence on God. The lyrics reflect who God truly is — faithful, dependable, loving, and unchanging. As I listened to the song and prepared to cover it, I was reminded of how constant God has been in my life, even in moments when things felt uncertain.
One thing I truly admire about this song is its simplicity. There is no struggle to impress; instead, it flows naturally as an honest expression of worship. The song allows the singer and listener to slow down and reflect on God’s presence. While practicing this cover, I found myself not just singing but meditating on the words, allowing them to speak to my heart. It became more than rehearsal — it became a moment of fellowship.
Musically, the song creates a calm and reflective atmosphere, which made it easy to connect emotionally. I tried my best to stay true to the message of the song while expressing it in my own way, focusing on sincerity rather than perfection. This cover is my humble offering, inspired by gratitude and reverence for who God is.
Music has always been a strong channel for me to express what words alone cannot fully convey, and this song gave me that opportunity once again. I hope that everyone who listens will feel encouraged, uplifted, and reminded that God remains the same — faithful in every season.
Before I round up, I want to say a word of encouragement to every artist, musician, and creative person in this community. Keep showing up, keep expressing yourself, and never underestimate the impact your gift can have on someone else. Even the smallest contribution can inspire a soul somewhere.

Much love and respect to everyone ❤️🎶
Lyrics
You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean, more than this world to me
I wouldn′t trade you for silver or gold
I wouldn't trade you for riches untold′.
You are, you are my everything
You are the love of my life
You are the hope that i cling to
You mean, more than this world to me
