Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
Note
Sorry, I could not get the English tune of the Hymn used, here inserted is the Yoruba tune, enjoy the melody.

The Composed Song
1. I saw ‘ceedingly a great white throne
Which someone has even sat upon
Before whom the earth and heaven flee off
And no place was found for ‘em again
Refrain/Chorus
Our tears shall be wiped off/2x
The names of those of us in the book of life
2. I saw the dead both small and great
Who are standing even before the throne
To be judged even ‘cording to their works
When they were even in the flesh
Refrain/Chorus
3. I saw the books ‘ven before the throne
In the books every works were written
There were ‘ven books which were opened
And the book of life was opened
Refrain/Chorus
4. The sea gave up the dead in her
The death and even the hell inclusive
All the people were even judged
even ‘cording to their works on earth
Refrain/Chorus
5. All the people whose name weren’t written
And in the Lamb’s very book of life
Were even told to ‘part even from me
Even into the lake of fire
Refrain/Chorus
6. But those of us whose names are written
Even in the very book of life
Were also told to enter great joy
Which hath been prepared for us all
Refrain/Chorus
7. The present heaven and the present earth
All of them shall even pass off
And there shall even be no more a sea
We shall ever be with the Lord
Refrain/Chorus
8. The very new heaven and the very new earth
Holy city, new Jerusalem
Where there shall be no morning neither ‘vening
Death, crying nor ‘demic diseases
Refrain/Chorus
9. All the former things hath even passed ‘way
Tabernacle of God is with us
Jesus is our light even day and night
Ha! It’s even joy ‘veryday
Refrain/Chorus
