This is my entry to the competition, I hope this content blesses your soul and take your mind back to the beauty, splendor and the majesty of God and his creations.
Some songs are not just ordinary, they tend to awaken somethings within me when I listen to them.
So in this week's edition of the Vibes Web3 Music Competition, I am going to be writing on how this song hit me so hard and came alive in my spirit a certain day I was travelling on the sea with a flying boat.
So I was travelling to Bonny Island located in River State Nigeria, the only means of transportation to that city from my own city then was the sea. It was a 3 hours journey on the sea, before now I had fobia for sea, but I just had to embark on that journey because it was a conference and i wasn't going alone.
Right on the sea, the waves blew hard, the air was fresh, natural and still, the sky was so blue and endless, the sight of the nature was so beautiful. The water seemed so vast and endless.
The creation was so beautiful, everything came alive in me and I felt so small at the midst of it all.
At this point, this song jumped out from my spirit, it was so live and real to me that I couldn't help but sing it in worship.
"O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power through-out the universe displayed..."
I wondered with my thoughts, the beauty of the creation, I could still remember how I travelled in my imagination seeing all the wonders of the creation that God made, just with a spoken word.
He formed the whole earth, seas, animals, land, trees, darkness, light, stars, sun, moon, forest, sand, everything you can ever think of, with just a spoken word.
I was so lost in thought that till today, whenever I hear or sing this song, that experience comes alive in my spirit and I wouldn't help but cry and worship.
I could still feel God speaking through the nature, reminding me of the works of His hands. And that if he could do all these by just a spoken, what is it that is too big for him to do in my life? š
I am always in awe of the wonders of God, God is real, God is Great and greatly to be praised.
That is why I am joining this competition today, not with the song on my lips, but with the gratitude in my heart which I can't express with just a song, but with the reflection of the wonders of God from my heart via my written content.
