Reuben Kigame - Sweet Bunyore Official Video

"Sweet Bunyore" is the third song on my album "Never Alone: Kenya's tribute to country". Written in 1999 while on a ministry trip in California. It was recorded two years later at New Life Sound studios, Goshen, Indiana and released officially about a year later in Kenya. I wanted an authentic Country sound and so looked for a country band and three great vocalists that were signed by New Life and got what I wanted. The song is a deep, nostalgic personal recollection of how going back to God and tracing your steps back to your roots and simplicity in life is the answer for loneliness, meaning and purpose. Acts 17:25-26 says, " From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands". I am proud to be from Kenya and Bunyore. Please tell me what you honestly think and feel about this song, good or bad, by commenting here. Thank you for your love and support through the years - Reuben Kigame, Eldoret.

People who don't like this song. Ruben became blind at the age of 3 at the dinner table while reaching out for a plate and suddenly couldn't see and also lost his wife in a car accident. Like if you think these people should change their minds and like the video

Sweet Bunyore by Reuben Kigame Life has been cruel to me And I have longed for a shoulder to lean on I have nursed much insomnia There's been nothing worth keepin' for a dream! I have seen the coldness of the city boys And the lies of the city girls O the pain of street children Perhaps it's time to go right to the start. Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me? Sweet Bunyore Have you a place for me? Or am I just A child of fate!? I hear the mooing of the cows As they give their scanty milk away I can smell the evening fires As the clouds begin to swell again How I long to hear your rivers flow And the morning birds begin their praises As they join the whole creation In the mighty song to the King of kings. Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me? Sweet Bunyore Have you a place for me? Or am I just A child of fate!? There's a place where the heart may find the answers And the body find its rest in the evening ‘Tis the story of a tired man Lost in a world that is lost!!! Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me? Sweet Bunyore Have you a place for me? Or am I just A child of fate!? Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me? Sweet Bunyore Have you a place for me? Or am I just A child of fate!? Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me? Sweet Bunyore Have you a place for me? Or am I just A child of fate!? Sweet Bunyore Do you remember me? And if I come Will you receive me?

Great great song. ABanyore should prepare a huge homecoming concert for this their great son. He has not been accorded the honor he deserves.

[@KigameMedia]

Oh my! If only a country boy could blush digitally! ...I certainly would love to throw a big concert back home and although I love the people and my homeland, they don't love me back. Not surprised though, coz a prophet ain't honored in His homeland.

[@Thesafespace254]

Kigame Media not all will love you great man, although I don't get it how someone can hate you with your humbleness and respect! Anyway just focus on the ones that love you those who don't pray that God will soften their hearts,you are an inspiration to nations,so if they don't appreciate you the world will ,you are our blessing from God to inspire us
