"On My Mind" - Saem's Tunes rendition

On My Mind - Daniel Johnson (@saemstunes rendition)

Here is a cover of Stuart Townend's "In Christ Alone" that we did last year (Dec 2020) with 3 friends I really value: Cindy, Jewell & Vaneyck.

Enjoy & be reminded of the love that God has so richly lavished on us, that we - both you and I - now hold the status of His children. What a privilege!

"Kumama" by Amanda Malela [@amandamalela] was such a pleasure to cover! Especially in acapella format!
Did you notice the colour code? Even in the "palo tu" font colour (blue + green = cyan). Comment if you saw that, hehe! Anyway...
.
The song is centered around celebrating God's love especially in that beginning (read 'beninging') phase that leads into the institution of marriage. What a joy it is to desire the celebration of God's gift of Love in the institution of marriage! 
.
For us, this rings true (gerrit?) & we even added a little twist of our own to it; bringing to light the emphasis that despite our current situations, we will praise. We better be found singing! Coz praise to the Most High has broken down impossible walls before. It has helped many sail through difficult storms & phases of life. 
Not only is this a personal testament, but also a public one, we hope. I hope.
. 
Behind the scenes, a good friend critiqued & thus helped put out what you're seeing now. Many thanks @awuormay 🎉🎊.Hope you enjoy. Share with a friend, on your statuses & Tiktok feeds (I don't have an account yet, lol) Let's make it known: TUTAIMBA!

Saem Goes Live on Hope

Saem Goes Live on Hope FM - Audio Version

Covering Paul Clement's "Mwaminifu", being reminded of the faithful God we serve

Mwaminifu

PAUL CLEMENT - MWAMINIFU (@saemstunes rendition)

"Mwanzo na Mwisho" is a beautiful song originally curated by Kenyan musical legend Kanjii Mbugua. The song speaks of the adoration of God as Alpha and Omega, knowledge-bearer of both the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. Through the song, we are beseeched to remember just how great our God is in comparison to what ails we may face. That we should praise Him is the pose we must take through it all.

So a few friends and I, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, took to giving life to the words of this song. We made an English translation off of it & intertwined it with the song we all know and love to sing in our churches.

Many thanks to Joel, Ashley, Cindy, Victor, Chwari, Drew, Geejo, Tim, Mickey & the Deliverance Church Kahawa Sukari for allowing this to become a reality

So, here's Mwanzo na Mwisho (English translation) by Saem's Tunes & Friends

Gatheri

Gatheri by John Ndungu

Heard Kelontae voice this at a past late night IG live. Got into worship. Inspired me to rendition this

In the midst of my distress, I shall reiterate what I know:
God is King of Kings
He is Lord of Lords
He is the Holy One 
and I will worship Him

Amen

King of Kings

Kelontae Gavin - King of Kings (late night acapella)

Based on Psalm 86, "Hear My Prayer" by Gregory Wilbur is a beautifully described cry

The Psalmist (King David) prays to God for help, exalting Him for only He could save, attributing steadfast love, mercy and slowness to anger to Him and so much more as recorded. Mr Greg captures the heart of the Psalm so well in song

It inspired my friend, Eddie Omobe, very much so that he recorded a short clip. Sung it so well, might I add. Tagged me along & I just added to the beauty already there

Hope you are blessed by it

PS:
Check out for symbolism in our covers
Shape of the video arrangement = A man [which morphs into] a man lifting his hands [which morphs into] a cross with wide arms, signifying God's immense Love
Colours = Saem's Tunes theme colours (we'll explain why we chose these colours sometime, God-willing, in the future)

Psalm 86: Hear My Prayer

Psalm 86: Hear My Prayer - Gregory Wilbur

Our deluxe version of this cover, courtesy of Andrew McKain

Infused with a little African alive vibe at the beginning, coz an African made this, lol. Kenyan to be specific
We are reminded of the promises of God & how sure a ground He is if we just trust Him & make Him our fort. We're alive, because there's more

Hold on

I'm Alive

I'm Alive -  Rich Tolbert (@saemstunes cover)

Shuka - @saemstunes rendition (inspired by @crocs_bassmahn, originally by @sue__wachira)

(👆🏾based on newly realised information, apologies for earlier inaccurate sharings) 

Here's a cover that expresses a heart-felt prayer in song. How I pray that you desire & invite God into the seams & spaces in your life. Wait on Him & let His Spirit work a great work through your surrendered vessel.

He desires that we wait on Him. He will reveal His face. His hand continually upholds us. He will not let our hearts fail beyond reach but let's us know that He is mindful of us. He who takes care of the lilies & the birds knows the longings of a human heart well enough. Knowing this, may our response be worship & a conviction to surrender to Him & wait upon His instruction. It will not be long. His silence doesn't drown His Presence.

Keep that flame of faith & hope ablaze. Keep calling on Him. Keep waiting. It won't be too long. And He will hold you fast through the trials that come on this side of life.

Be blessed!

Hello September 👋🏾

A new chance to be grateful!
Here we set our milestone rock of praise,
Looking back at how far we've come
And saying, "It's all Jehovah - for He is El Roi, the One who sees me"
I am honored that the Lord sees me... That He has seen me through is a great privilege

So take a moment
Sing. Dance. Worship the way you know best
For Ebenezer has been faithful

And welcome to the new month fam

This is a prayer... an expression of the need we ought to have about God and all that concerns Him. May we want Him like we have no other fallback plan, coz He is the only satisfying option. May we want Him always. May I want Him always. Amen.

For Your Glory/Amen

For Your Glory/Amen ft Joel Mwangala, Mark Waihura

A clip of me and some friends sharing in a reflective song, coming from Jonathan McReynolds' album, Make Room. "God is Good", personally, is a testament of who God has been to me. Merciful. Forgiving. Gracious. Peaceful. Loving... Not what He had done really. He has done a lot that I can testify. But, it is more glorious, more edifying when not only what He has done, but who He is to you is made real to you. Jesus is real. Experience Him today! He loves you, child. God is good!

Make Room

God is Good

Jonathan McReynolds - God Is Good (cover ft. Friends of KNEF)

Beautiful rendition of the song originally done by Jonathan McReynolds at the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International Ministry of Worship

Psalms 116:5-7
God is good and faithful to what He has said! This past week hasn't honestly been the easiest. I almost gave up on God because it seemed as if this Cycle just couldn't be broken. But He did something amazing... He directed my gaze to a simple truth; in the verse I'd been meditating on for so long but hadn't come to terms with what it really meant. 2 Timothy 2:13 shares that even when we are faithless, He still remains faithful. He showed me how faithful He has been in past years... YEARS!!... in the same issue. Was ashamed of my complains, yet instead of being all "I told you so", He showered me with His love, reminded me what it is like to Love and gave me hope for the future. How do you describe such a God in words? Ever in awe! By Grace, I am saved and continue to be so. Hope you are blessed by this beautiful arrangement from the heart & know that God can use you just as you are. He only needs your utter surrender to Him and He will uplift you & bring back joy into your life.

We Testify - Deborah Lukalu

How beautifully coexistent the message is in these two songs.
. 
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord , who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalms 121:1‭-‬8 (ESV)

The Joy of Adonai is your strength.

. 
The #ThanksWatermark Campaign Official Audio // Thanks, I Give You Thanks / Alpha and Omega 
. 
A season where being thankful may be the last thing on our minds, on your mind... yet it is required of us so often.
. 
Thankfulness does not flow from the sight of impossibility but from the joy & faith in God of the impossible. The reality is, there is hope. 
. 
Amidst racism outcry in the US & brutal killings of minority people groups... amidst extrajudicial killings & atrocities in my country Kenya & an ever-worrying uncertain future for Kenyan youths like me. Yes, amidst the pandemic with its disruption of life as we knew it. Amidst all that troubles our troubled hearts, be it as humble as where the next meal is gonna come from or as big as starting over again due to severe loss... there is Hope. 
. 
We thank because we hope. We thank God because He is our hope. He who saw us through during our hey days, He is faithful to see us across the walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Across plagues & ravaging pandemics. Across the stench of death. Yes, across it all. He is faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). 
. 
Question is: Do you trust Him? Do you believe in God to see you through it? That whether things go according to plan or not, He still has your best interests at heart? Do you trust God? I challenge you to Trust Him today... and even go beyond that. Praise & thank Him for already being faithful to what you Trust Him for. Because as sure as the sun rises in the east & sets in the west, so is God faithful. 
. 
Even if the sun were to fail & rise in the west, God would still be found faithful. That's how much worth He's worth. Worthy of all worth... even Trust-worth. #TrustHim today! #ThankHim today!

Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.

So help me God. Like a Potter to the clay, put Your faithful hands to work on this broken vessel. Make it over again. Amen.
