Blessings and Curses

Comment saved for moderation

Using Udio.com for the music, I created this religious choral work about blessings and curses in life, how they come unbidden, and how we must learn to deal with both.

I am not religious, but I am quasi-spiritual and can relate to the metaphors and sensibility of religious people.

Note: there are a few glitches in the animation of the lyrics.

From heaven's grace, sweet blessings fall,
Like whispers from an angel tall,
They descend upon us, unearned,
In moments when our hearts have yearned.

Yet, just as day turns into night,
The devil dances with delight,
His curses cast, like shadows deep,
Disturbing dreams, disrupting sleep.

In the tender bloom of dawn's embrace,
When sunshine paints our hopes with grace,
We see God's hand, a gentle guide,
Walking steadfastly by our side.

And when the devil's shadow looms,
Engulfing us in thoughts of gloom,
We gather strength, our souls held tight,
To weather storms and face the night.

Amidst, dear soul, life's ebb and flow,
Blessings and curses life shall bestow,
For in surrender, we find release,
And in acceptance, we'll find our peace.

1. Very thought inspiring lyrics. I enjoyed the musicality and the voices perfection. While the belief in God or the devil is left to the listener, I sense a respect and a desire to support and share together our human experience. Very well done thank you.
