Lyrics:
From the mills of Dundee to the heart of Calabar,
A woman of faith, she traveled far,
With Philippians 4:13 in her heart, she’d say,
"I can do all things through Christ every day."
Mary Slessor, a guardian of grace,
In the eyes of the needy, she saw Christ's face,
Living out her calling for those in plight,
Bringing justice and hope, a servant of the light.
Among the Efik people, she found her home,
Bridging worlds with their words, kindness shown,
With Matthew 28 in her soul so deep,
"Go make disciples," her mission to keep.
"Speak up for the voiceless," Proverbs calls out,
Mary took up the cause, of this there’s no doubt,
Twins who were cast out, she sheltered and fed,
With God as her guide, loving hands divinely led.
Mary Slessor, a guardian of grace,
In the eyes of the needy, she saw Christ's face,
With courage and love, she fought for what's right,
With wisdom that shone, in the darkest of night.
With James 1:27 as her guiding star,
"Look after orphans," near and far,
Building up schools and helping the sick heal,
With Micah 6:8 offering hope and a meal.
"Defend the oppressed," Isaiah declares,
She halted cruel trials, with justice and care,
In places of hardship, she shone so bright,
An untiring witness of God’s enduring light.
Mary Slessor, a guardian of grace,
In the eyes of the needy, she saw Christ's face,
Standing by the Lord's strength, a gentle might,
A voice of compassion, in every righteous fight.
In the wilds and towns, she spread the light,
With Galatians 6:9, she never lost sight,
“Do not grow weary in doing good,”
In her deeds and her spirit, God’s love stood.
A light in the darkness, her story unfolds,
In the annals of time, her legacy holds,
Mary Slessor, missionary true,
In her life and her love, God’s kingdom grew.
How I make these music videos:
All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry. In many cases, I have written the lyrics entirely in the "old-fashioned" way, although in several other songs, I've also begun to use ChatGPT to aid in the process. However, these typically require extensive preliminary inputs and significant manual revision and fine-tuning before satisfactory results. Lyric videos are made with Pinnacle Studio 26.
