Song 3#: E Shelu eternal/Eternal heaven

It's nice how the Lord brings inspiration to us. It always has been the way how I have made my songs so far. So how was this one written?

I was listening to a bible study when the preacher said something that brought inspiration to my mind. What I thought was, "How will it be seeing Jesus coming back?" He was talking about which kind of heart you have. The first till the third ground will not stand the last test because they are not practicing right now. It's about character building. Right now is the time to prepare, to pass the test, because when things get worst, you won't be able to stand.

Is your heart like the third ground in Matthew 13:7? That whenever problems come, You are ready to give God away to get money and food? Those people are under the control of Satan. The thorns represent the problems of life and the deceitfulness of riches. So, right now, if you are worried about what you should you eat or what should I drink, then when you won't be able to get them, what will you do?

That night the chorus was created.

He said: "The time is close, just keep holding on till the end. Till Jesus comes to get your reward, this generation will see Jesus coming back."

Matthew 13:7 "And some fell among thorns; and the turns sprung up, and choked them"

Matthew 13:22 " He also that received seed among thorns is he that heareth the world; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful"

Verse:

Mi no por imagina kon lo ta, ora Hesus regresa.

( I can't imagine how it would be when Jesus comes back)

Mirando mortonan lanta i bai topa kune, den e shelu aya.

(Seeing the dead waking up and meeting Him in the heavens)

Un mundo nobo kaminda no tin ni sufrimenti i ni morto mas

(A new world where there will be no suffering and dead anymore)

Un kos mi sa, ku ami si ke ta ayanan, pesei

(One thing I know is that I want to be there, therefore)

Chorus:

Keep holding on, keep holding on

Mi ke mira bu den e shelu aya

(I want to see you in heaven)

Keep holding on, keep holding on

Lucha pa drenta den e shelu aya, e shelu eternal

(Fight to get into heaven, the eternal heaven)

E shelu eternal

(The eternal heaven)

Bridge (Old one, not used)

Kon lo ta ora nos yega shelu, kon nos lo kanta Haleluya

Kon lo ta ora nos yega shelu, kon nos lo kanta Haleluya

Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya

Bridge (New)

E shelu eternal, kaminda no tin mas lamento,

(The eternal heaven, where there will be no more sorrow)

E shelu eternal, kaminda no tin mas dolo

(The eternal heaven, where there will be no more pain)

E shelu eternal, kaminda no tin yoramentu e shelu eternal.

(The eternal heaven, where there will be no crying, the eternal heaven)

E shelu eternal (4x)

(The eternal heaven 4x)

The old bridge part was written a long time ago on my way home in 2018. It was written that day for today, that is what I thought. But for one reason are another, it never fitted in the song. I was struggling because it sounded good, but I didn't like it; it just wasn't fitting. Two weeks ago, I started praying to God to help me to love the people around me. Around that time, I started to cry a lot because I was caring for people and didn't like the feeling thereof. That is how the new bridge came to life when I thought about a new world where there would be no crying, no sickness, and so forth. When the verse and the chorus were written, I knew God was telling me that revelation 21:4 needed to be in the song, but I couldn't see it till the moment it was inspired later on. Then I understood why I had the feeling that revelation 21:4 needed to be part of the song, but I didn't understand where in the song it belonged. After I thought the song was ready, I got a completely new part to put in it, and it immediately made sense by then.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Keep holding on till the coming of Christ; I want to see you there!

Stay blessed, and stay focused!
