Christian Songs We Might Have Been Singing Wrongly by Kalatium(m): 7:08am On Oct 04, 2020
As a Christians while growing up we were accustomed to a lot of Christian songs.

There are songs you must have been singing throughout your younger years only for you to be informed that you've been singing the wrong words all along.

Often times we hear wrongly the words to some of our favourite songs and at other times we repeat the lyrics we’ve heard from others and continue singing the wrong lyrics for ages.

The following are the top songs on my list :

1. We go hey, hey your name debade all the way:
This is one of the gospel songs that people have invented their own version. The appropriate words are "We go dey hail, hail your name, day by day all the way".

2.. The most Excellency is Jesus :
This is a very popular Nigerian song sang mostly by Christians. However, unknown to them, they have been singing it wrongly.

The original lyrics is, ' the most excellent king is Jesus '.

3. Osingo singo, praise the Lord:
Someone must have invented this sweeter version which sounds ‘better’ than the original one. The person must have thought the original version was boring and as such decided to give it a nice touch.

The right thing is, ' O sing my soul and praise the Lord' .

4. With thanksgiving, as we are living, sanctuary, for you :
This is another song that people have invented their own version. The correct version is, ‘ With thanksgiving, I'll be a living, sanctuary, for you' .

This is by no way Exhaustive, pls add yours.

The idea of singing praises to man or god does not sit well with me, a need for praise or worship comes from a place of insecurity.

dont really know who pushed this to front page on a Sunday for goodness sake.

there are better post than this

modified
i have been getting alot of mentions
let me explain why i said so

look at fridays and see the Islamic post that makes front page. Post that you even as an unbelievers of the Islamic faith you could actually learn from. That is if u are interested.

but guess wat on a Sunday morning the 3rd Christian post to hit front page is songs we actually sing wrong and check the comments.
its been turn to a comedic thread.

so believe i still say there are better post that can actually educate a believer and unbeliever on the call for salvation through Jesus Christ and obeying his greatest Commandment Love than that post.

and to all those calling me Atheist, and other stuff. I'm not here to trade words but i believe a mention asking me why i said such should have been the best approach.

I'm a believer of Christ but i felt better educative post should have hit front page than this.

Worshipping and praising attracts God blessings and mercy on us.

Even if we make errors in singing His songs of praise , He hears and Understand . God that understands English, hausa , pidgin , Japanese, french , Igbo , youruba languages... etc

Nice.

The one I don't understand is:

Almighty God..... You will never share your Glory with anybody

I was like, wtf, why are we serving him if he is not to share His Glory with us?

Yet people get this tingle little feeling of approval and appreciation with something so inconsequential as a nairaland like.

Don't you think it is completely natural to feel that way?

Isaiah 13:9

Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,
Cruel, with fury and burning anger,
To make the land a desolation;
And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
