Good day folks,
I stumbled on this short piece believed to be written by Songwriter and Singer Wale Adenuga. It reminds me of our hearts disposition when we sing this part. Do you change it to "when Success comes my way" or just sing the usual line casually? Here's an experience by Wale Adenuga;
"I have written a number of songs. But the most popular of them has been Today O! And it's probably the most contentious too. That's because some people don't find it comfortable singing "when troubles come my way".
So it was refreshing when I was contacted by Kent Brantly for permission to have the lyrics of the song published in his new book, CALLED FOR LIFE.
Kent, a medical missionary in Liberia had contracted Ebola. He was the first person with Ebola to be treated in the US when he was evacuated to Emory University.
Dr. Brantly writes "I had marvelled at hearing Liberians sing that song at the top of their lungs, with full recognition of its meaning as they concluded with "When troubles come my way, I will praise you Lord." As they sang, I tried to imagine all the suffering they had endured, with the civil wars...
Reading this humbles me and makes me grateful that God would use me to etch those words."
