Alot has been said on our local gospel music, from the lack of message in our songs, to the money motive behind the singers in the industry, to the controversy of using secular beats in gospel music.
On this blog we aim to shift the focus from the controversies and negativity to the message in the music. The message is in tyhe lyrics. Generally when we focus on one aspect of things, be it conflict or our trials we often make wrong conclusions, but when we get the full picture we are able to understand it well. Most people judge a song by just one line but here you will access the full song, and be able to get the whole story thus understand it better.
Also, we know that no one is perfect and surely, if God were to use perfect people, He would use no one. It is possible that though some singers have weaknesses that have been published in media causing people to dismiss their songs, through these blog you can focus on the message and shift attention from the singer to the message after all, God needs to increase as the singer decreases.
I am a proud Kenyan and local songs are among my favorite, whlile i have interacted with Kenyans who are so anti Kenyan gospel music claiming its "shallowness", here the lyrics will prove to you that there are plenty of Kenyan songs that are very very deep.
Your corrections to errors in lyrics are welcome and so are your additional information on where the music can be bought and albums too.
Yours truly

Good work you are doing here, at least people will have a place to reflect on the content of the music other than just dance to the tunes. God bless
