Out of the archive from about 15 or so years ago, I pulled out and dusted off these lyrics. I added a couple of verses to it, and here's the result.
The Song of Love
by Kyle
[Verse 1]
The song of love,
Let it sing to me.
The song of love,
Let it sing in me.
The song of love,
Let it sing through me.
Let me sing the song of love.
[Verse 2]
The song of hope,
Let it sing to me.
The song of hope,
Let it sing in me.
The song of hope,
Let it sing through me.
Let me sing the song of hope.
[Verse 3]
The song of faith,
Let it sing to me.
The song of faith,
Let it sing in me.
The song of faith,
Let it sing through me.
Let me sing the song of faith.
[Verse 4]
The song of God,
May He sing to me.
The song of God,
May He sing in me.
The song of God,
May He sing through me.
Let me be the song of God.
This is the first song I have ever written in a language other than English, and despite tons of technical issues with my local software and hardware, it only took about 6 days to write and finish recording it. I would like to give my heart-felt thanks to the developers of the Suno music generation platform. This is certainly a game changer for me, as I can write in my own lyrics, let the AI model generate the backing track with background vocals, and to top it all off, I can remove the lead vocals generated by the computer and record my own voice on the song I wrote using the recording software of my choosing. If I like, I can even add in or replace other instruments as well once I have my stems that I can download from Suno. This song is written in the beautiful Kiswahili language in a sort of Gospel ballad style, a love song to God. I am placing it into the public domain, and I include the lyrics and English translation here. May the song be a blessing.

Kama sio wewe If not for You),

Bila upendo (Without love),
Bila uzima (Without life).
