Hear us today – Glowreeyah Braimah
The music minister with an amazingly, infectious smile is perhaps best known for the worship anthem, “Miracle Worker”, with Nathaniel Bassey. However, there is more to the prolific singer and songwriter.
Glowreeyah has lived with music all her life, growing up with parents who would always play the piano after work, or tapes of French or folk songs; she grew up listening to and appreciating music.
Glowreeyah writes her songs from her personal devotion and from her experiences in life.
One of her most memorable moments is ministering on the stage of The Experience – the biggest gospel music concert – in 2013. Glowreeyah was also the official scriptwriter for Sesame Square, the Nigerian version of the children’s educational TV series, Sesame Street.
Her debut album “The Expression” was released in 2015. The 16 track album had such songs as “God Alone”, “Miracle Worker”, “Covenant Keeper” and more.
Our song of the week is from Glowreeyah Braimah’s “The Expression” album. It is titled “Hear us today”
Lyrics
Hear the cries of the mothers who pray
For night has come and the children have strayed
The drums of war have been beating for long
In the silence, it roars
From the mountains and shores
We need a new song
Hear our voices cry
As your people, we call out your name
With humble hearts, we will seek you and pray
We turn away from our wicked old ways
Father, heal us today
Father, heal us today
Father, heal us today
Father, heal us today
Oh Father, Father, hear your children
Hear us today…yeah
Aaaaaaahhh….eeeeeeehhhh
Oh Father, Father, hear your children
Hear us today…yeah
Aaaaaaahhh….eeeeeeehhhh
Hear us today
Father, hear us today
Father, hear us today
May justice flow like a beautiful stream
And mercy-drops let the broken receive
We say amen and we call this to be
We your people decree that Your kingdom is here
Yes, Your kingdom is here
Yes, Your kingdom is here
Oh Father, Father, hear Your children
Hear us today
Hear us today… yeah
Aaaaaaahhh….eeeeeeehhhh
Oh Father, Father, hear your children
Hear us today
Father hear us today
Aaaaaaahhh….eeeeeeehhhh
I see heaven kissing earth…all around…I see heaven kissing earth
Father God…I see heaven kissing earth…all around…i see heaven kissing earth
(Repeat)
Do your will, Lord
Do your will…in this nation…see heaven kissing earth
Transformation
Do your will
Oooh heaven kissing earth
We say amen
Oh Father, Father, hear your children
Hear us today…yeah
Aaaaaaahhh….eeeeeeehhhh
Hear us today
Father hear us today
