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.
The Composed Song
1. I will cause captivity
Of my people to return
And I will build them up like before
And I will also cleanse them
From all their iniquity
All their iniquities ‘ll ‘so pardon
Chorus
Praise thou ye, Oh the Lord
And the Lord of the hosts
For that the Lord is very good
And mercy endureth forever
Praise thou ye, Oh the Lord
2. Their names will I also change
And I ‘ll give them a new name
They will not be termed forsaken again
Nor ‘ll they be called desolate
Because I have redeemed them
I, myself am the one who hath saved them
Chorus
3. I will wipe their tears away
Their reproach will I remove
All the people that ‘v waited for me
They will be full of my joy
They will have abundant peace
Their heart will rejoice at my salvation
Chorus
4. Their souls will also be like
A garden that is watered
They will not walk in sorrow again
The young ones and the old ones
And the females and the males
Will all sing a new song unto my name
Chorus
5. Give ye praise unto the Lord
All ye people that’s call His’
For the miracle the Lord hath done
He hath healeth our land
He has also deliver’d us
He has lift us above all enemies.
Chorus
