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 song using another common song in my land, Nigeria. If you know the song I am mimicking, you can join me to sing this song, however, if you do not know it, you can read the wordings for your exhortation. Thank you.

The composed Song

Chorus:

Change your thought oh my brethren

If thou change your thought, If thou change your thought

Assuredly goodness and mercy

‘ll be thine lot on earth

Solo 1

Our mind is like a spring

From where water oozes out, From where water oozes out

It should be guided

And guarded by word of God

Chorus:

Solo 2:

Polluted minds cannot think straight

They cannot think right, they cannot think right

Evil fills up their hearts

They are afraid by day and night

Chorus:

Solo 3:

Get off thee even fear

It is injurious, It is injurious

Even to positive thoughts

If allowed it is harmful

Chorus:

Solo 4:

Do not be limited

By your negative background, By your negative background

For if you allow this

You ‘ll not make any progress

Chorus:

Solo 5:

Remove far even off thee

All negative thoughts, All negative thoughts

Thought of failure and sickness

You should get them off thy heart

Chorus:

Solo 6:

Remove far even off thee

All negative thoughts, All negative thoughts

Thought of lack an’ poverty

You should get them off thy heart

Chorus:

Solo 7:

Think always of good things

Emulable things yea positive things

Let such fill thine heart

And good things shall always be yours

Chorus:

Solo 8

Think always of good things

Yea if you do this, Yea if you do this

Things will change for you

And your life will not be the same

Chorus:
