Hello everyone..

It's Hive Open Mic 179

The theme for this week is urban music, which made me think about the dilemma faced by some of our 21st-century churches in Nigeria. In these churches, church leaders prefer certain songs to be sung during praise sessions, known as Western songs. These songs have a Western flow and beat, which is different from our traditional African songs that we grew up singing and are accustomed to.

Most pastors refer to African songs with beats like "Ariaria" as local and not suitable for the modern and sophisticated taste of our Gen Z generation. 😂😂

My church is a witness to this trend, and although I appreciate it for introducing new changes and improvements, not everybody enjoys it. My best friend Sarah, for instance, misses our traditional style of praise.

Usually, we are allowed to sing our traditional praise songs once a month. So, this theme inspired my entry this week, and I decided to pick two songs we consider Western in our church.

As you can see, both songs were written and performed by Nigerians but have a Western flow and style.

What are your thoughts on this new trend?

Please enjoy my entry

SONG LYRICS

Lyrics written by me

(Ada)
Creator creator of the universe what cant you do
What can't you do what can't you do
What can't you do Jesus
Name above every
Name above every other name every other name
What can't you change
What can't you change Jesus
Lift your hands and say you're able
You are able great and mighty great and mighty God
You're able Jesus

there is nothing nothing you cannot do
Nothing you cannot change
Nothing you cannot turn around
You are able
Great and mighty God
I put my trust in you
You are able Jesus

You are absolutely right by stating that these days, in church everybody is going all western relegating local ariaria vibes to the background.
Meanwhile you delivered your acapella perfectly!
